What a meaningful day in Paradise! 💙📚

A huge thank you to Principal John Bettencourt for welcoming us to Paradise Elementary and giving us a tour of the new school site. The Gustine Traveling Library was proud to donate a Little Free Library and 200+ new books for their new library, while also offering continued literacy and grant support for the future.

During the fires, our community came together to send food, supplies, and support to Paradise. To return years later and see the progress, resilience, and care for students was truly incredible.

We’re grateful to continue that connection and support Paradise students for years to come. 💛🏫

🦋📚 A little Dolly, a lot of love, and 978 books given away!

Today’s Dolly Parton Day celebration at the Gustine Traveling Library welcomed visitors from across Stanislaus, Fresno, and Merced counties to celebrate kindness, community, and the joy of reading! 💖

We surpassed our 925-book goal with 978 books given away today, and we plan to give away many more through upcoming school distributions!

From families choosing books to visitors sharing kind messages on our “Memories for Dolly” board, you helped make this celebration special. Thank you for celebrating Dolly’s love of literacy with us and helping bring more books into children’s hands! 🦋📚

If you tell me you don’t make ridiculous faces to get a baby to laugh… you’re lying! 😂 Clearly, I take my job very seriously.

A little reminder to read to our littles—and have fun with it! Make the faces, do the silly voices, and let them turn the pages. You’re helping a love of reading grow, one story and giggle at a time. 📚💛

Thank you again Angie Summers from our local Head Start for inviting me to read to your parent group it was a blast.
