Novel HeARTs fully supports the right to read, create and learn!

Join Us for Story Time!

The Ripley County Retired Teachers Association and Novel Hearts invite children and their families to a special day of stories, smiles, and support for early literacy!

Beginning at 9:30 AM and every hour through 12:30 PM, beloved retired teachers from Ripley County will read classic children’s stories aloud. It's a heartwarming chance for kids to enjoy story time with educators who’ve spent their lives inspiring young minds.

This event supports Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in Ripley County, which delivers free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five. This program lays the foundation for lifelong learning, one book at a time.

Novel Hearts will donate 10% of all sales during the event to the Imagination Library, so come find your next great read while giving back to a great cause!


Story Times: 9:30 | 10:30 | 11:30 | 12:30
