Your donation to the Friends of the Pine River Library will support and enhance the Library’s programs and services and the efforts of our hardworking library staff, while also building awareness and promoting literacy in our community.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
Do you have a child under 5? Did you know they can get a free book every month? All you have to do is sign them up at www. imaginationlibrary.com or stop by the library to pick up a paper registration form. The Friends of the Pine River Library have partnered with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to send a free book to each child under 5 in Bayfield, Gem Village, and Vallecito every month. Once they’re signed up the book will come directly to their home until they reach the age of five and graduate out of the program. The cost is absolutely free!
