Dolly Parton’s Book Legacy Lives On | Duluth News

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library isn’t just about music—it’s a quiet revolution sending free books to kids from birth to age five, transforming early literacy one story at a time. In northeastern Minnesota alone, 3,000 children annually receive books thanks to United Way’s decade-long effort, delivering over 400,000 books across rural communities where access is scarce. Born from Dolly’s tribute to her illiterate father, the program thrives through local fundraisers like “Power of the Purse” and is expanding into northwest Wisconsin. It’s proof that simple acts of kindness can spark lasting change, one book delivered right to your doorstep. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
