Tickets & Info

The Broward Public Library Foundation gives away more than 10,000 books to children each year at Broward County Library programs, including the StoryBook Festival, the Children's BookFest, the Summer Learning Program, and the Books 'n' Bears at the Holidays program for disadvantaged preschoolers. Much like Dolly Parton and her Imagination Library, the Library Foundation Board of Directors believes there's nothing more important than building a home library that children and parents can enjoy together.

THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS (1982)
Miss Mona (Dolly Parton) runs the Chicken Ranch, a brothel with a long history in a small Texas town. The locals have a good relationship with the institution, and Mona is respected in the community. The sheriff, Ed Earl Dodd (Burt Reynolds), also looks out for the Chicken Ranch due to his past with Miss Mona. However, when pious reporter Melvin Thorpe (Dom DeLuise) exposes the brothel, outside interests want it shut down, putting the governor (Charles Durning) in a tough spot.

Broward Library Foundation's Children's Book Programs
