Our hearts go out to the Parton/Owens family with the loss of an absolute icon. Dolly meant a lot to each of us, and especially to those of us in libraries. She inspired a love of reading from a young age for many of us through her Imagination Library program. If you have a fond memory of Dolly or reading books sent to you from her program please share in our comments, we would love to read them. 💖💎📚
