Meet Laufey, this year’s honorary chair of Library Card Sign-Up Month!

The Grammy-winning singer and songwriter is also a big reader and founder of the Laufey Book Club, a worldwide community of readers.

She recently made her children’s book debut with Mei Mei the Bunny, a story about a little bunny finding the courage to share her musical dreams.

Music, books, and bringing a new generation into reading? We’d say she’s a pretty perfect fit for this year’s theme: A Library Card Hits All the Right Notes! 🎶

On behalf of our Film Club, we’re remembering Tim Curry. ❤️
With his unforgettable voice and larger-than-life performances, Tim Curry brought some truly memorable characters to the screen. His movies have given us plenty of laughs, scares, and moments we’ll never forget.
Here are a few of our Film Club favorites, but there are so many more to choose from. 🎬

As Tim Curry once said:

“The way the world is, I think a silly evening in the theatre is a good thing, to take our minds off terror.”

And we couldn’t agree more.

“If I’m remembered 100 years from now, I hope it will be not for looks but for books.” — Dolly Parton

And books will certainly be part of how we remember her. Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, millions of books have made their way into the hands of children, inspiring a love of reading from the very beginning. We couldn’t think of a more fitting way to remember Dolly than with books.

Stop by the library to see our tribute, browse some of her titles, and learn more about the Imagination Library and the legacy she leaves behind. 📚🦋
