Stumbled upon these students patiently waiting for their classmates to check out books. We just had to ask them to hold the books in front of their faces for a picture ☺️😍📚

“You can never get enough books into the hands of enough children. Share a story and they’ll always be blessed by the gift of imagination!” —Dolly Parton🦋

Through her Imagination Library, Dolly has gifted over 330 Million free books to children worldwide since its launch in 1995.

Thank you, Dolly, for your voice, your heart, and your dedication to early childhood literacy. 💖

In honor of Dolly Parton’s legacy, the Children's Library has set out free books from Dolly’s Imagination Library that were donated back to SML. 📚

Don't judge a book by its cover, judge it by its sprayed edges! Which book from this display at SML would you choose based on the edges alone??📚🌈🎨

Last Thursday was all about CANDY! 🍬🍭 We had 20 teens make candy sushi and Kandi bracelets. They made maki rolls, nigiri, and battleship rolls out of rice krispie treats and lots of candy!🍣 Teens had 40 minutes to make their sushi box and then we voted on "Best in Show." Winner took home a 3D printed dinosaur and second place got seaweed! 🦖

Some of the teens also taught us how to make double and triple strand Kandi bracelets with pony beads! 🪡

We've loved seeing the teens creativity this summer! We will continue the fun in the Teen Zone on Thursday, September 10. Stay tuned for the program schedule!
