We are so sad to hear about the passing of Dolly Parton. As a library, we are very grateful for the beautiful impact she made on the world of literacy. There are so many Adair County children that receive free books monthly thanks to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library and those books help these kids lay the stepping stones for a love of reading! Thank you, Dolly, for reminding us that kindness is a powerful force, it's ok to dream big, and there is always room for one more book. ❤🦋
