Today, we remember Dolly Parton and the incredible impact she has made through her lifelong dedication to helping children discover a love of reading.

Through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, children from birth to age five can receive a free book each month, helping make the joy of reading and the opportunity to build a home library accessible to families not only across the United States, but in communities around the world.

Dolly’s legacy reminds us to Dream More. Learn More. Care More. Be More. Her passion for children, education, literacy, and giving back has touched countless lives and will continue to inspire generations to come.

We extend our heartfelt thoughts and best wishes to Dolly’s family and loved ones during this time. We also want to continue sharing information about a project that was so meaningful to her and that continues to make a difference in the lives of children.

Interested in participating? Scan the QR code, check availability, and enter your ZIP code to see if the Dolly Parton Imagination Library is available in your area.

The QR code will also be available at the City of Hobbs Free Library and the CORE Free Library for those who would like to learn more.

Let’s continue Dolly’s mission of putting books in the hands of children and helping them discover the magic of reading. ❤️📚

As Dolly said in her song "I Will Always Love You:"

"If I should stay,
Well I would only be in your way
And so I’ll go, and yet I know
I’ll think of you each step of the way."
