Throwback Thursday when we celebrated Dolly Parton Imagination Library reaching 1000 children in our community and thanking Batesville for being the sole funder!

🦋

More than 2,000 children have participated in the local program since 2022.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Dolly Parton. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library has been a part of our community for a number of years and has helped children ages 0-5 understand the importance of literacy and gain a love of reading. Through our partnership with Batesville Manufacturing, we’ve been able to push out thousands of books to children in our community.

The family of Dolly Parton asked that in lieu of flowers, that individuals give to their local Dolly Parton Imagination Library. You can do so by visiting this link, https://donate.imaginationlibrary.com, and choosing our community.

One of the things that makes West Central Mississippi special is how people show up for one another.

This August, participating Circle K stores are helping support that spirit through a special campaign benefiting United Way.

Customers can round up eligible purchases, with donations helping support local communities.

Thank you for helping make our community a place where neighbors can thrive.
