🕯️An icon, a legend, and an extraordinary advocate for literacy. The Hong Kong International Literary Festival honors the memory of Dolly Parton and the incredible legacy she leaves behind.
Dolly founded the Imagination Library in 1995, fostering a love of reading across borders and communities by mailing free and carefully chosen books to preschool children. The programme has distributed over 300 million books up to now.📚
Thank you, Dolly, for inspiring generations of readers and leaving a legacy that will shine forever. Rest in peace. 🕊️

🕯️懷念樂壇傳奇、國際巨星，亦是竭力推廣文學的公益大使—— Dolly Parton。
自 1995 年創立「Imagination Library」以來，Dolly 與團隊精心挑選優質童書，免費郵寄到學前兒童手中。這份推動閱讀的熱情跨越了社區與國界，至今已送出超過 3 億本書。📚
致敬 Dolly，願你安息🕊️
