Join the Friends of the Marion Public Library and the MPL staff for a morning of planting the seeds of imagination....

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting books free of charge to children from birth to age five.  Whether you and your family have signed up for this program or not, we would love to show you what it is all about!  We will have the chance to register your child(ren) for DPIL, get a library card, do a scavenger hunt of the new library, enjoy storytime with some basic ideas on how to read with your kids and leave with some great information.

Drop-in between 9 AM and 10:30 AM to participate with storytimes being held at 9:15 and 10:15.  Register today!
