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.

That idea lives here too. Every month, children in the community of Roselle find a book in the mailbox — because of neighbors who fund it, volunteers who run it, and a woman from Sevier County, TN who started it all.

Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.

Our community signed on to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library just this year to give our children the best start in life. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library will continue as part of her legacy, along with the songs she wrote, the characters she created and the joy she brought to millions of people.

The is currently enrolling eligible children ages 0-5 years who live in Roselle (60172 zip code). Sign up at https://bit.ly/ImaginationLibrary_RPLD .
