Dolly Parton Inspires Children with Book Donations

Dolly Parton, who passed away this week at age 80, founded the Imagination Library in 1995 to promote childhood literacy, inspired by her own father’s struggles with reading. The program mails free books monthly to children from birth to age five across several countries, and by 2025, it has distributed over 300 million books worldwide. Families and communities have reported significant positive impacts on children’s reading habits, emotional development, and early learning, with many emphasizing the program's role in fostering a love of reading from a young age.
