Dolly dreamed it. Our community carries it on. 💜
Today, we mourn the loss of a woman who believed something beautifully simple: every child deserves the chance to dream.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library began with a desire to put books into the hands of children… and that dream has found its way right here into Wausa.
Because of Dolly, children in our community receive a special book in the mail every month. A book to hold. A story to share. A moment for a parent and child to sit together and dream a little bigger.
And we want our community to know this:
The Imagination Library will continue.
The books will keep coming.
Little hands will keep reaching.
Little minds will keep dreaming.
Dolly didn’t build the Imagination Library to last for her lifetime. She built it to last for theirs.
So today, we honor Dolly by doing exactly what she would want us to do… keep putting books into the hands and hearts of children.
📚 If you have a child under 5 who isn’t enrolled yet, now is the perfect time to give them this little piece of Dolly’s legacy.
Thank you, Dolly, for leaving a little more magic in Wausa, Nebraska. Your dream lives on here. 💛
