Thank you Dolly.
We are heartbroken at the passing of country music legend, cultural icon, and champion of literacy Dolly Parton.
From the ALA's statement...
Dolly’s award-winning Imagination Library initiative, inspired by her father’s inability to read or write, has put hundreds of millions of free books into the hands of children across America and was considered by her to be one of her greatest achievements.
“We’re giving books to kids who wouldn’t have a chance to get them otherwise,” she told American Libraries in a 2018 interview. “A lot of people think this is just for poor children—it’s for all children. It’s important to get books into the hands of any child that we can.”
Whitefield Public Library will work diligently to continue her legacy through keeping the Dolly Parton Imagination Library alive for North Country children.

Community Day Fall Festival
Our annual Community Day Fall Festival is this coming Saturday, September 26th! We'll have everyone's favorite cider pressing again with apples from Tellman Hill Orchard, but we thought we'd make it even more fun by inviting people to share apples from their home trees!
There are hundreds of old apple trees around Whitefield. If you're willing to let people pick on your property, add your name and address to your bag. Wouldn't it be beautiful to share those apples with your neighbors?
Apples can be dropped at the library on Thursday or Friday or brought directly to the festival on Saturday.
