Default Passwords Now Include Area Code

In the Rolling Hills Library account system, the default PIN/password is the phone number on the account.  We had designated 816 as the default area code because at the time most users were in 816.

We have decided to implement a change to remove the 816 area code as the default because we have a new 975 area code for northwest Missouri that started being issued in our area in October.  Many people who move here from other areas choose to keep their existing number, so there are many in our system who list all 10 digits anyway.

If you already have a custom PIN/password set, nothing changes.  If you are still using the default with only 7 digits, it will change to 10 digits on December 1.  You can start using all 10 digits right now, no need to wait.

This will affect access to online resources and logging into the catalog to place holds or title requests.  If you are blocked or can't get in, try again with the 816 added to the front and see if this works.  Please email help@rhcl,org if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Imagination Library is now in Missouri

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is now available to all Missouri children!

From birth to age five, registered children receive a free book each month. To learn more and register, visit https://imaginationlibrary.com/usa/affiliate/MONORTHWEST/

Please share with friends and family with children under age 5 so they can start getting books every month. The Missouri Imagination Library was made possible by legislation (Section 178.694 RSMo) that identifies school districts as the local partner for this initiative. Full funding was included in DESE’s Fiscal Year 2024 budget to establish and administer Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for all children in Missouri age 0-5. There is no cost to parents or schools for the books or the postage to deliver them.

About Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Since launching in 1995, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has become the preeminent early childhood book-gifting program in the world. The flagship program of The Dollywood Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has gifted over 200 million free books in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and The Republic of Ireland. This is achieved through funding shared by The Dollywood Foundation and Local Community or State Partners. The Imagination Library mails more than 2.6 million high-quality, age-appropriate books directly to children’s homes each month. Each child enrolled in the program receives one book per month from birth to age five - at no cost to families. Dolly envisioned creating a lifelong love of reading and inspiring children to Dream More, Learn More, Care More and Be More. The program’s impact has been widely researched, and results demonstrate its positive impact on early childhood development and literacy skills. Penguin Random House is the exclusive publisher of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. For more information, please visit ImaginationLibrary.com.
