Dolly Parton's impact on literacy is unmatched. The Literacy Council of West Alabama is proud to join United Way of West Alabama in celebrating an incredible milestone: the 1 millionth book given to children across West Alabama through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library! ❤️

Here’s to the next million books—and the next generation of readers! 📖🌟

Wow!

Your support helped us raise $1000 today!

This will directly support adult and family literacy initiatives in West Alabama.

A special thank you to the University of Alabama Press for their donations and to Ernest & Hadley Booksellers for hosting our sale! So many wonderful books have now found new homes.

And, to our volunteers, we had a wonderful event because of you! The heat was brutal, but you persevered. Thank you!
