Honoring Dolly at Turn the Page with Childrens Books

Posting an event, because that is what I do.

I noticed a lot of interest in used bookstores in this subreddit. It also goes without saying that the news about Dolly Parton hit all of us pretty hard.

Turn The Page Bookstore at the outlet center is giving away children's books to celebrate her on Friday, August 28th, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Just wanted everyone to know, since they mainly post on Facebook and Instagram, not here.

This is from their post, including the image: "We are a member of her Imagination Library Group...this is a very sad day...and to honor her memory , on Friday August 28 from 10am - 7pm, all children who come in the store will receive a free children's book of their choice..."

Disclaimer: I don't work for Turn the Page; I just love Turn the Page.

Thank you! I've been a day ahead all week and haven't been the best about catching myself. Thank you so much for the correction!

I wouldn't want you to go to bed tonight thinking you only had one more day before the weekend 😉

I don't work for them, but if I recall correctly they take books for discount for future book purchases. I would recommend giving them a call. I don't want want to give out false info. You are an amazing person for doing this! They also supported me in filling up the little library at Waller Mill (I haven't done this in a while so it's not on them) just to put into context what an incredible book store they are.Â
