Three years ago, when we opened our doors, we were inspired by something we absolutely loved about Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library — the belief that every child should have access to physical books. 📚❤️

That’s why we’ve always kept a FREE children’s book bin right inside our door. And whenever we receive Imagination Library books as donations, they go straight into that bin!

We know those books were given with the hope that they would find their way into the hands of children, and we want to help make that happen. 🥰

So if you see our free bin, please take a book (or a few!) for the little readers in your life. And if you have children’s books your family has outgrown, we’d love to help give them a new home, too.

More books in more little hands — just like Dolly wanted. 💕📖
