Franklin County VA Imagination Library

For more than 30 years, Dolly’s dream has helped put books into the hands and hearts of children around the world. In the weeks since Dolly’s passing, we’ve witnessed an extraordinary outpouring of love, gratitude and support from people around the world.
Give Like Dolly Day is an opportunity to turn that love into action by giving back to children and communities, just as Dolly did throughout her life. We’re inviting people everywhere to support
organizations doing meaningful work for children where they live — beginning with Franklin County's Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program. PLEASE SHARE!

Known for her outsize persona, appearance and talent, she rose from rural poverty to become a top-selling singer, songwriter and entrepreneur.
