“If you can read, you can self-educate yourself, and you're just lost if you can't.” - Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton committed her life to improving children's literacy because she saw the limitations her father faced as someone who couldn't read. We're so proud and thankful to be a Dolly Parton's Imagination Library community. If you know a child under the age of 5 who isn't signed up, today's a great day to get started.
