🎃📚 What a great Manchester Pumpkin Day!

The Imagination Library of Clark County had a fun Pumpkin Day today! We registered several new children for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library...and apparently we were so busy signing up little readers that we forgot to take any pictures of that part. 😊

We did get some great pictures of our wonderful volunteer face painters, Brylee Russey and A. Kneebone, who stayed busy painting faces throughout the day. Thanks to their hard work...and the generosity of everyone who stopped by...they raised an amazing $480 for the Imagination Library!
Those funds will help us keep books coming to Clark County children every month. ❤️📚

A huge thank-you to Brylee and AOK, all of our volunteers, everyone who stopped by the booth, and everyone who donated today. We love seeing our community turn out for its youngest readers!

And don’t forget...we’ll be celebrating 20 years of Imagination Library in Clark County this Tuesday from 4:00–6:00 p.m. at Citizens Bank. We’d love to see you there!

TWENTY YEARS of books, children, and families in Clark County. ❤️📚

This little guy was the 500th child enrolled in the Imagination Library of Clark County. Since our local program began in 2006, thousands of Clark County children have had Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library books arrive in their mailboxes — one book every month from birth until age five.

Next Tuesday, we’re celebrating 20 years of our community making that possible, and we would love for you to join us.

20th Anniversary Drop-In Reception
Tuesday, October 6
4:00–6:00 p.m.
Citizens Bank Lobby
2710 Pine Street, Arkadelphia

We’ll also be kicking off our holiday pecan fundraiser, which helps us keep books coming to Clark County children.

Come by, visit with us, help us celebrate 20 years, and be part of the next chapter! 📚

Save the date: September 25!

Dolly Parton’s connection to Clark County dates to 20 years ago, when a young Arkadelphia attorney learned of the country singer’s Imagination Library on the radio

In 1995, Dolly Parton started mailing books to children in her home county to inspire children to love reading in honor of her dad, who couldn’t read or write.

That idea lives here in Clark County, Arkansas, too. Every month, over 700 children in our community find a book in the mailbox — because of neighbors who fund it, volunteers who run it, and a woman from Sevier County, TN, who started it all.

Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.
