Carrying a beautiful legacy forward
Dolly’s remarkable legacy extends far beyond her music. Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, she placed millions of books into the hands of young children and inspired a lifelong love of reading in communities like ours.
Many have asked how they can honor Dolly’s memory by supporting the Imagination Library in Holmes County. Just $30 provides one child with a book each month for an entire year.
Two ways to give
All funds designated for our local program go directly toward the cost of books and postage for children in Holmes County. There is no local administrative overhead.
Dolly believed that books could help children dream more, learn more, care more, and be more. We are honored to help carry that beautiful legacy forward, one book and one child at a time.
