Today is Give Like Dolly Day!

We’re asking our community to help us continue bringing the gift of reading to children right here in Garvin County.

Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, children from birth to age 5 receive a free, age-appropriate book delivered directly to their home every month. Each book helps build a child’s home library, encourages a love of reading, and creates opportunities for families to read together.

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps us put more books into the hands of local children.

Give Like Dolly. Give the gift of a book. Give the gift of a lifelong love of reading.

Please consider making a donation today and sharing this post to help us spread the word.

There are three ways to donate:

1. DONATE ONLINE
Visit https://donate.imaginationlibrary.com/

Be sure to select “I would like to designate this donation to a specific Imagination Library Local Program Partner,” then select “Garvin County” as your Local Program Partner.

2. DONATE BY CHECK
Make checks payable to:
Garvin County Imagination Library

Mail to:
Stratford Friends of the Library Foundation
PO Box 362
Stratford, OK 74872

3. GIVE IN PERSON
Join us Saturday, September 26th, at Brick Fest in downtown Pauls Valley to give in person! We will also be registering children ages 0–4 for the program.

Learn more about our program at https://www.facebook.com/GCILF.

Thank you for helping us carry on Dolly’s legacy by giving back to the children of our community!

Thank you so much PVNB for the awesome tables for our teen room! They make the space much more usable and functional with the rolling and height adjustable tables. Just perfect for back to school! Thanks for always being such a supporter and friend of the library!
