🏛️ Government websites can change or disappear overnight, taking public records with them. 🕳️

That’s why libraries have collaborated on the End of Term Web Archive since 2004, preserving U.S. government websites at every presidential transition.

📚 The latest crawl captured petabytes of material, including 2 million videos, helping preserve the public record for future generations.

The End of Term Web Archive is Democracy’s Library in action.

In 1995, Dolly Parton started mailing books to children in her home county to inspire children to love reading in honor of her dad, who couldn’t read or write.

In 2007 the Imagination Library had grown and made it's way to Oregon.

Almost 20 years later, the program has blossomed reaching every corner of our state as well as 5 countries worldwide.

Today, 48 Local Program Partners are stewarding Dolly's dream and bringing the Imagination Library to families in every one of Oregon's 36 counties along with the support of the State of Oregon. All because Dolly had a dream of getting books into the hands of children and filling as many homes with books and stories.

Over 77,000 children in Oregon are currently enrolled to receive a book from the Imagination Library, over 4 million books have been mailed directly to Oregon families.

31 years ago, Dolly started with a dream. With the delivery of an Imagination Library book, we honor that dream.

On behalf of our Oregon Local Program Partners and our State Team, we thank you, Dolly. We will always love you. ❤
