We will be participating in the Read -a -thon.

We are so excited that the West Virginia State Library and West Virginia Tourism will be bringing Dolly Days to our wonderful state.

From Oct 1st-Dec 31st, students between grades K-5 will be able to sign up. Students will need to read 25 books between those dates, tracking your progress through the official Read-A-Thon reading log. Once they have completed it, they have until Jan 5th, 2027 to submit the log. Winners will be announced Jan 19th, 2027.

Registration goes live tomorrow, October 1st and it must be done online by scanning the QR code, visiting wvtourism.com/dolly or stop in the Alderson Library, or any participating library and we would love to help you sign up!

Please also help spread the word and share this post, and tag a few friends!

In memory of Annabell Rothe

Several treasured pieces of Annabell's original artwork have been lovingly donated in support of the Monroe County Public Library. The library is honored to share these beautiful works with the community and offer them through a silent auction.

Before the art show Annabelle's paintings will be on display at the library. We invite you to visit, take your time and enjoy the beauty she created. As you look at each piece, we hope you will see not only the colors and images on the canvas, but also a glimpse of the heart, joy, and love that Annabell poured into her art.

May her love of art live on through each brushstroke, every canvas, and every home where her work is treasured.

April is National Poetry Month! A great way to celebrate is by reading "Poems Out Loud," a contemporary book of first poems by Laurie Stansfield, perfect for reading aloud with your child!
