Over the last five years, the library has gone from a place that my wife and I would say “Wow! We have a great library. Why aren’t we going there more often?” as we were leaving, to a destination that creates excitement for my daughter every single week. She is always excited to get her book in the mail from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, and music story time at the library is a can’t-miss event for her every week. We are so thankful to have a library in our community that is creating these experiences for children. ~ Clint DeVoe, Trustee, The Library Foundation
