Movie Night at the Library: The Library that Dolly Built In-Person

Join us at the library for an evening screening of The Library that Dolly Built: Celebrating the People Who Made Dolly's Dream Come True. This documentary takes viewers behind the scenes of Dolly Parton’s non-profit program, the Imagination Library.

“The Library That Dolly Built,” directed and produced by journalism professor and director of Land Grant Films Nick Geidner, and narrated by Danica McKellar, goes behind the scenes of Dolly Parton’s literacy-focused non-profit, Imagination Library, to show how one of the most famous and beloved performers in the world has developed an efficient and effective program for spreading the love of reading. The film celebrates all the people who helped make Dolly’s dream come true.

After the film, members of Whatcom County Library System's award-winning Right to Read team will talk about their training for WCLS staff on issues related to privacy, confidentiality and intellectual freedom. These core values guide our work as library staff and help us support and protect the freedom to read in our communities.

Space is limited; registration is required.
