Reflecting on the legacy of the late great Dolly Parton, we asked ourselves “What Would Dolly Do?”
We believe the answer is clear — be kind to one another, and get books in the hands of kids!
B107.3 is partnering with Elleinad Books to host a DOLLY BOOK DRIVE, collecting new and gently used children’s books for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lincoln!
You may purchase new books to donate from Elleinad Books (4724 Prescott Ave in Lincoln) for a very gracious 15% discount! You may also drop off new or gently used books at B107.3 studios (4343 O Street in Lincoln) through Friday, September 25th.
The DOLLY BOOK DRIVE will culminate with a live read-aloud storytime at Elleinad Books on Sunday, September 27th at 10am.
Join B107.3 staff for a morning of free family-friendly fun as they read from some of their favorite books. Thanks to our generous friends and partners, every child who attends the read-aloud will receive a FREE book of their choosing to take home and enjoy!
LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR PARTNERS
Elleinad Books exists to nurture a lifelong love of reading, imagination, and connection.
We envision a welcoming space where children feel seen, families feel supported, and stories spark curiosity, empathy, and joy. More than a bookstore, Elleinad Books is a community hub—one that celebrates childhood, champions diverse voices, and creates meaningful experiences through books, play, and shared moments.
We believe books should be accessible, inclusive, and enchanting, and that reading together builds stronger families and a stronger community. Through thoughtfully curated titles, engaging events, and intentional partnerships, Elleinad Books strives to be a place where stories come alive and memories are made—one page, one child, one family at a time.
