The Chattanooga Public Library will celebrate Tennessee royalty Dolly Parton’s birthday with a special Reading 9 to 5 contest on Friday, Jan. 19. It’s time to pour yourself a cup of ambition because we’re breaking down some of the fun.

To highlight folks’ love for reading and Parton’s work through the Imagination Library, this takeover will have events at all area branches from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Think: Scavenger hunts, readings, a Dolly matinee movie screening, and Dolly-themed trivia.

For the main event, enter the all-ages 9 to 5 Reading Contest by heading to any library location + picking up a special bookmark to track your reading for the day. Once complete, return the bookmark for a chance to win prizes.

Bonus: Signal Centers will be offering a limited supply of free books from the Imaginary Library at all locations.
