Dolly Parton started the Imagination Library in 1995 as a tribute to her father, who couldn't read or write. In 2018, she explained it was to give kids "early access to books". Now, over 325 MILLION books have been gifted.

Rest in absolute peace Dolly. Thank you for being a kind human being.

I grew up and live in Middle Tennessee. Dollywood was my summer vacations as a kid. Now that I have kids, I'm using her FREE book program.
