Dolly Parton created many legacies: music, philanthropy, disaster relief, economic development and more. But removing the barriers to literacy, is one of her greatest! Every month over 5,000 age-appropriate and free books are sent to children in Blount County. We honor Dolly and her legacy today, and every day through this important work. As we celebrate her life, if you'd like to make a gift in her memory, please visit this site, and below the gift amount, check the box to designate your gift to your local program partner. From there you can search in the drop down box, or enter your zip code so that your gift comes back to Blount County. $25 gives a child one book a month for a year. Dolly was the gold standard on giving back, and we're grateful for the countless ways she enriched many lives. https://donate.imaginationlibrary.com/
