What to drop in
Books ready for a new home.
New or gently used children’s books.
Picture books, early readers, chapter books, and stories in good shape are all welcome.
A living Dolly legacy
A few books, a little love, and a whole lot of Dolly.
— Timothy K. Taycher
Children’s book donation boxes across queer Las Vegas.
The books keep going
Dolly opened the door. Tim carried the box through it.
Dolly mailed 325 million books to children, including more than 175,000 right here in Southern Nevada. After she passed, Timothy K. Taycher from our community made sure the books wouldn’t stop—building a simple, joyful way for queer Las Vegas to keep that literacy legacy moving.
