At ICC, October isn't a second chance. It's a start date.

Our new 8-week format gives you five entry points every year — so you're not waiting until January to get moving. The 2nd 8-week session begins October 19, and registration is open now.

Two courses over eight weeks, and you'll have real progress to show for it.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, not only a talented musician, but also a true titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library has received multiple Library of Congress Literacy Awards and, in 2018, Dolly visited us to donate the program’s 100 millionth book to our collection. She even hosted story time. 🦋❤️

Watch the video of her story time reading at the Library. ⬇️ https://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2020/12/dolly-parton-the-library-that-dolly-built/
