Free Books for Kids at West Florida Library's Dolly-Inspired Giveaway

The Friends of West Florida Public Library are giving away free children's books this Saturday as part of their annual book sale event, according to a library news release. The "Dolly-inspired" giveaway aims to encourage young readers in the Northwest Florida area to take home new titles at no cost.

The event runs Saturday, Sept. 26, during the Friends' annual book sale. The giveaway is named after the Dolly Parton-founded Imagination Library program, which has long promoted literacy by distributing free books to children.

Details on specific locations, times, and how many books each child can receive weren't immediately available, but interested families in the Pensacola area can contact the West Florida Public Library system for more information about participating in the event.
