Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is OFFICIALLY open in Upshur County TODAY! ✨📚

This one is incredibly special to me. I’m so proud to have helped champion the effort to bring the Imagination Library to Upshur County. Bringing free books into the homes of children across our community has been a mission close to my heart, and seeing it officially come to life today is something I’m so grateful to be a part of.

Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, children from birth to age five can receive a FREE, age-appropriate book delivered right to their mailbox every month. ❤️📖

Nolan Properties LLC is proud to support the first five months of this program, with one additional month given in honor of my grandmother, Virginia Young Goudarzi — a Gilmer ISD educator, making this mission even more meaningful to me.

The remaining months are made possible by generous community sponsors who stepped up to invest in Upshur County’s children: Gilmer ISD Foundation , Credit Union of Texas, Rotary Club of Gilmer and First National Bank of East Texas. We are so grateful for each of them!

I can’t wait to think about all the little bookshelves — and little readers — this program will help grow right here in Upshur County. ❤️📚
