ALA is heartbroken at the passing of country music legend, cultural icon, and champion of literacy Dolly Parton.

Dolly’s award-winning Imagination Library initiative, inspired by her father’s inability to read or write, has put hundreds of millions of free books into the hands of children across America and was considered by her to be one of her greatest achievements.

“We’re giving books to kids who wouldn’t have a chance to get them otherwise,” she told American Libraries in a 2018 interview. “A lot of people think this is just for poor children—it’s for all children. It’s important to get books into the hands of any child that we can.”

ALA was proud to confer Dolly with an honorary lifetime membership, the Association’s highest honor, in 2023 for her lasting impact on librarianship, libraries, and the communities they serve.

Dolly was also part of ALA’s Celebrity READ campaign, in which she holds a copy of 'The Little Engine That Could.'

“I’ve always related to that book because I’m the little engine that did!” she said.

Thank you, Dolly. ❤️

Did you know that Jean Toomer, author of Cane, discovered the characters for his popular book while working as a temporary principal of a Black school in rural Georgia? His book would become a key influencer during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. As a mixed-race young man, Toomer journeyed to Sparta in search of his identity, which he found in the lives of its residents.

The traveling exhibit “African American Distinguished Georgia Writers” will be on display at Manchester Public Library now through Sept. 4, in partnership with the Georgia Writers' Museum and Georgia Public Library Service.

Library patrons are invited to check out works by featured authors during their visit. Sponsors for this exhibit include Georgia Humanities, Southern Literary Trail, and Vizitech.
