We will always love you, Dolly.

The Libby app team is saddened to hear of the passing of Dolly Parton.

Dolly was a beloved artist and cultural icon, but perhaps just as importantly, she was a lifelong champion of literacy and the belief that everyone deserves access to books. Through the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, she helped put books into the hands of children in communities across the globe and inspired generations of young readers to discover the joy of reading.

Today, we’re taking a quiet moment to read in Dolly’s memory and to celebrate the incredible legacy she leaves behind.

Renovation work continues at Morley Library, now focused on the 1st floor, where our most comprehensive changes are happening: new paint and flooring, ceiling alterations, relocation of collections, and a new circulation (checkout) desk.

🟢A temporary checkout desk is in place while the new desk is being manufactured and the space is being prepared.

🟢The Large Print collection has been moved to the 3rd floor, where it is adjacent to the other print collections for improved browsing and easier access to assistance from staff.

🟢All audiovisual collections (except for children's DVDs and audiobooks) are now located on the 1st floor in a larger space for improved browsing and access.

🟢New furniture for all floors will be arriving during the first week of October.

🟢New flooring is in place in the basement hallway, the former basement classroom and former 1st floor computer center, both of which will now serve as flexible spaces for programs and meetings.

🟢Public access computers remain available on the 3rd floor, and two express (15-minute) stations will be added on the 1st floor.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we get closer to completion of the project this fall! 🍂
