Remembering a woman who did so much to promote literacy. So many acts of kindness.

"Small actions help remind me that there are so many great, glorious pieces of good in the world." - Dolly Parton

The impact Dolly has left behind is no small thing. Whether it is her music and movies creating memories that transcend generations. Or her passion for learning and hopes of inspiring a love of reading, leading her to create the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, which has provided over 300 million free books to children. We hope Dolly's memory inspires you all to go out into your community and continue to take small actions that leave a big impact.

You can now fax documents for free at the Library.

The Library is excited to announce that faxing is now FREE for all patrons!

While some may think of faxing as a retro form of communication, it remains a trusted and widely used way to send important documents securely. Our staff remain a trusted source to learn, and your secret is secure with us if you don't know what faxing is.

We want to thank all who supported our spring sale. We had a great turnout and it was very successful. We are fortunate to have such a wonderful community.

Some of our members recently met to discuss lessons learned from the sale and we encourage you to provide your feedback and thoughts on what you would like to see more of so we can make the next sale even more successful. Your constructive feedback will be greatly appreciated.
