We are truly overwhelmed with gratitude for our amazing community and everyone who came together to Give Like Dolly on Dolly Day! Your generosity helped us raise an incredible $715.50! 📚✨

And here’s what that means:

🌟 $715.50 can provide 23 children with a FREE book every month for an entire year! That’s 276 books placed into the hands and homes of local children. 📖❤️

Every donation, every share, every kind word, and every person who helped spread the message made a difference. We are so thankful for a community that believes in the power of books, imagination, and early childhood literacy.

💜 Remembering Dolly Parton💜

Today, we join countless families, readers, and communities in remembering a truly extraordinary woman whose kindness, generosity, and love of children touched generations.

Dolly Parton gave the world so much through her music and storytelling, but her impact reached far beyond the stage. Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, she helped make the simple joy of receiving a book each month a reality for millions of children—including children right here in Addison County.

At Addison County Readers, we are especially grateful for the doors she opened through books. Her belief that every child deserves the opportunity to dream, imagine, and grow through reading has inspired the work we do.

Her songs will be remembered.
Her kindness will be remembered.
Her generosity will be remembered.
And her love of children and books will live on in every child who opens a book.

Thank you, Dolly, for showing the world that one person with a big heart can make an incredible difference.

From all of us at Addison County Readers, we will continue carrying your message forward—one child, one book, and one dream at a time.💜📚🦋
