We are so very sad to hear of Dolly Parton’s passing. 😢

Thank you, Dolly, for all the contributions you made to society, including your music, generous donations, huge heart, and your Imagination Library that you created over 31 years ago which gives free books to kids age 0 to 5.

We are in awe of your spirit, talents and giving nature.
