We join the world in celebrating the remarkable life of Dolly Parton. We were honored to share the story of Imagination Library of Montgomery County, VA in our Blacksburg Living and Christiansburg Neighbors magazines in 2024 and 2025. Dolly opened minds, encouraged dreams, and committed her life to music and reading. We honor the life and legacy of this amazing humanitarian.

One of our amazing young entrepreneurs that advertises in our magazines. Congrats! We know you have a bright future ahead!

These past 5 years have been so amazing, and I could not be more grateful for this incredible community and all of the support you’ve shown me throughout this journey. 🤍
As many of you know, I am now a senior and will be graduating in May. After graduation, I will be continuing my education at Penn State University majoring in Finance!
Thank you to everyone who supported this business, continued to shop small, shared my products, cheered me on along the way, and placed an order over the years. Every bit of support meant more to me than you know.
Closing this chapter is incredibly bittersweet, but I will always be grateful for the memories, lessons, opportunities, and love this business has brought into my life.
To celebrate these amazing past 5 years, we will be having a closing sale to sell the remainder of our inventory. All products will be 50–75% off, with free shipping throughout the NRV on orders over $35. Be sure to use code: CLOSINGSALE.
Thank you all for helping me turn something handmade into something so meaningful. This community will always hold such a special place in my heart.
Thank you all so much!! 🫧✨
