Thank you for your passionate and unwavering support for literacy and libraries, Dolly 💕

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. ❤️

Last week, we had a StoryWalk celebration! Visitors enjoyed the weather, read the summer StoryWalk book "Eggasaurus" by Jennifer Wagh, and colored little paper boxes for their stuffed 'book buddies' plushies. The StoryWalk is located at 1101 Green Knolls Dr., Buffalo Grove (Reiner Park), and stories are switched out seasonally.
