We're sad to learn of the death of Dolly Parton.

As well as being a musical icon, Dolly made a monumental impact on child literacy by founding Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in 1995. Driven by her desire to help children fall in love with reading, she affectionately became known to millions of children around the world as "The Book Lady".

Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Peter Rabbit is the official "Welcome Book" given to every child who joins Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in the UK.

The story below shows her giving the one millionth book from the UK Imagination Library to a young lad from Liverpool in 2014.

RIP Dolly.

It's just over a week until children will go back to school. Why not pop in and take a look at some of our 'back to school' items?

This window display has been very popular over the summer. It will be in place for a while yet if you want to come and see it. Thanks as always to our shop manager June and our volunteers for their hard work and creativity in putting our window displays together.
