Dolly Parton has always held a special place in the hearts of libraries and readers everywhere. We’ll miss her, but her love of books, literacy, and learning lives on.

If you’re looking for a little Dolly, Athens State students and employees can search the Kares Library website to find books about her and explore so much more. https://libguides.athens.edu/home

Here’s to keeping her spirit and her stories close, one book at a time. 🦋💗
