We join the world in mourning the passing of Dolly Parton, and we are inspired by her acts of generosity and care for her community.

❗️Did you know she’s delivered millions of books to millions of children for free?

In Woodstock, we are so fortunate to have the Woodstock Imagination Library Inc., an initiative that Dolly started. She sends monthly books to children age 0-5 for free to inspire reading and learning.

[More info below in comments]

In Dolly’s honour, we encourage you to:

📚Register your child (400 have already enrolled!) Books arrive every month!

💰Make a donation supporting the program. ($60 supports one child for one year - that’s 12 books! Tax receipts available)

🚲 Cyclists are now able to park and secure their bikes on an eye-catching new bike rack at Citizen’s Square, Woodstock, NB.

(Beside the L.P. Fisher Public Library - Bibliothèque publique).

This new bike corral can accommodate a dozen bicycles in the same space one car would usually take up in a single parking space.

Encorp Atlantic, who manages the recycling of beverage containers throughout the province, offered a bike rack to our community free of charge, after being made aware of Dooryard Arts Festival’s attempt to encourage attendees to ride their bike to the event.

Thank you to Greg Stokes and the Woodstock, NB crew for assembly and installation!
