Growing up in the rural South, Dolly's father didn't get the chance to go to school, never learning to read. In his honor, the Imagination Library was created, giving free books to any child under five, making sure everyone has the chance to learn to read.

As we remember the incredible life of Dolly Parton, her passion for reading, and generosity for others, her legacy lives on through the books gifted to millions of children, all over the world.

Thanks to our friends at United Way of ELC, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Library is available here in our community. Stop by Prairie Fox Books to pick up registration forms for your little ones or to find out how you can donate to support local early literacy. 📚✨
