DECEMBER 20, 2024– Today the Dandelion Scribes honor our beloved local librarian, Mrs. Holly Daugherty. Mrs. Holly is the Director of Programs for children & adults at McCreary County Public Library, and she truly embodies the holiday spirit each and every day with her passionate, enthusiastic, and dedicated work in support of our local community. We have all been blessed to know her, learn from her, and be embraced by her never-ending warmth & encouragement! Here are a few odes to Mrs. Holly, as we declare this day in December a new national Holly-Day! Thank you, Mrs. Holly, for all you do for us! You are our hero, and we love you so much! We wouldn’t be here without you. You make us all feel seen and heard and held and loved.
