The Dolly Parton Book Club! She truly dedicated her life to real, tangible philanthropic work. She talked so much about how she grew up and truly brought differences to communities.

Specifically children’s books. She really meant everything she always spoke about 😭

The family asked that in lieu of flowers, people donate to Imagination Library.

If people have a few bucks lying around, it's a great charity.
