In 1995, Dolly Parton started mailing books to children in her home county to inspire children to
love reading in honor of her dad, who couldn’t read or write.

That idea lives here too. Every month, 246 children in Jefferson County find a book in the
mailbox — because of neighbors who fund it, volunteers who run it, and a woman from Sevier
County, TN who started it all.

Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.

We’re deeply saddened by the passing of Dolly Parton, whose extraordinary life and generosity touched millions of people around the world. Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, she has championed early literacy by providing free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, helping give every child the opportunity to discover the joy and power of reading. We are proud to carry that mission forward through our own local Imagination Library program, ensuring that Dolly’s belief in the transformative power of books continues to reach children in our community. 📚❤️

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. ❤️
