Today, September 25, we honor Dolly Parton’s generous heart and lifelong commitment to children by doing what Dolly did best—giving back.

For more than 30 years, Dolly’s dream has put books into the hands and hearts of children around the world. Here in Lorain County, that dream continues every month as thousands of children receive a free book delivered right to their homes.

Today, we invite you to by supporting the Lorain County Imagination Library.

📖 Just $31 provides 12 books to a Lorain County child—an entire year of reading, learning, and imagining.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps us continue Dolly’s mission and inspire the next generation of readers.

Her legacy continues, one book and one child at a time. 💛

To celebrate Dolly Parton's life, Lt. Governor Jim Tressel and I signed a proclamation creating Dolly Parton Day, to be observed on September 25, 2026. Dolly spread the values of kindness and generosity around the world, and her legacy will live on through the children who have benefited from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

In Ohio alone, more than one million children from all 88 counties have received a free, high-quality, age-appropriate book in the mail each month since the Imagination Library of Ohio program was established in 2019.

Parents can enroll their children from birth to age five in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Ohio at ohioimaginationlibrary.org
