Dolly’s dream was to put books into the hands of children everywhere. Her father could not read or write, and although Dolly said he was the smartest man she had ever known, she understood that not being able to read made his life harder.

By supporting Imagination Library, you are helping carry on that dream and giving children the gift of books, imagination, and a love of reading. 📚🦋

Thank you in advance for supporting our work and helping us put books into the hands of Henry County children! ❤️

We are kind of speechless honestly about our beloved Dolly’s passing. A community member posted this and we asked permission to share it. She put into words what we couldn’t.

💔 HC Imagination Library

“There will be a lot of numbers mentioned in memorials to Dolly. How many years she lived, how many of those years were spent with her husband Carl. How many songs she wrote and recorded, how many albums. How many movies she starred in, how many movies and tv specials she produced, how many cult 90s tv shows she produced and no one knew it at the time. Estimates of her financial worth, and long lists of her philanthropy. The economic impact on her beloved East Tennessee home due to Dollywood, and all the ways she sought to lift up her family and her community with her wealth.

There is one number that I find staggering, and that is three hundred million. That is the number of free books that Dolly Parton's Imagination Library has gifted to children ages newborn to five since 1995. Including my own child. Three hundred million books.

If you know anyone with a child in that age range, anyone expecting a baby, tell them about the Imagination Library. Talk them into signing up (stress that it's free!). If you can, consider donating to your local chapter. Putting a book in a child's hands is a sacred act, and possibly the best way to honor Dolly's memory.

{But also teach your kids Dolly's music, because dang, she wrote some bangers. Play those songs, and play 'em loud.}”.

💕✨Today we celebrate 80 incredible years of Dolly Parton — a woman whose music, faith, humor, generosity, and heart have shaped generations.

From the Smoky Mountains to the world stage, Dolly has shown us that you can be kind and strong, humble and wildly successful. She reminds us that roots matter, giving back matters, and that staying true to who you are is the greatest legacy of all.

Thank you, Dolly, for the songs that feel like home, the stories that make us laugh and cry, and the example of living with grace and purpose.

Happy 80th Birthday to a true NATIONAL treasure. 💕✨
