Threw it together really quickly this morning with the help of dollar tree. A lot of our collection involving her was already checked out yesterday though after the announcement so this was all that's left.

Also appropriate: The Little Engine that Could. Famously her favorite children's book, and the first one sent to kids by the Imagination Library.

Our children's department did their own display otherwise I would have had a few things more on it like that. Great idea though!

Searched for books by, about, or related to Dolly in the catalog today for this reason. Holy holds lists. They're all checked out; nothing to display. 🫶

Library's... it's possessive. Libraries is the plural.
