Happy 100th birthday to our favorite, cuddly bear!
“100 years of heart and honey!” ❤️ 🍯
(TIME special edition)
It’s a great day to read your favorite book by A. A. Milne…or any book!! 📕💛

A very happy 100th birthday to our favourite bear! Happy Birthday Winnie the Pooh, today marks 100 years since his first appearance.

“Pooh,” whispered Piglet.
“Yes, Piglet.” replied Pooh.
“Nothing,” answered Piglet,
“I just wanted to be sure of you.”
“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.”
“It’s so much more friendly with two.”
“Pooh, promise me you won’t forget about me, ever. Not even when I am a hundred.”
Pooh thought for a little.
“How old shall I be then?”
“Ninety-nine.”
Pooh nodded. “I promise,” he said.
“Some people care too much, I think it’s called love.”
— From “Winnie the Pooh,” by A.A. Milne

What a great way to celebrate Dolly on 9-2-5 Day! 💖

📚 Dolly Day is September 25!

We’re celebrating her legacy of generosity with a little 9-to-5 kindness. 😉 Take a break from the daily routine and do something good for your community!

On 9/25, pick up a new or gently used book and leave it at your local Little Free Library with a note that says "In Memory of Dolly Parton." It’s a simple way to share a story and spark a child’s imagination.

READ LIKE DOLLY! We hope you share a book…or 5…or 9, with a child today! And if you wear pink, sparkles or butterflies, we think Dolly would definitely approve!! 💖 🦋
“You can never get enough books into the hands of enough children “ Dolly Parton

Thank you, Dolly! 📖💜✨

Dolly Parton Day is being observed today, Sept. 25 (09/25) — a date related to her legendary hit "9 to 5"
