It's hard to feel hopeful in the wake of Dolly's passing. So, when myTalk 107.1 - Minneapolis/St. Paul reached out to us and offered to feature us on their show as a fundraiser, it felt like a little bit of Dolly's sparkle shining on us. ✨

We are honored to be a small part of Dolly's amazing vision. Because of her Imagination Library, and the support of our community, her legacy will live on through the stories and imaginations of our youngest neighbors.

You can support myTalk's fundraiser by giving here:

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, more than 1,500 children living in the Stillwater school district 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.

While our hearts are incredibly sad today, we’re more inspired than ever to continue this important mission. Together, we are building a brighter future for our children.

Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.
