Dolly Parton’s Legacy Lives Through Books | Oklahoma City News

Dolly Parton’s legacy lives on through her Imagination Library, which has gifted over 332 million books to children worldwide — including nearly 19,000 in Oklahoma City. Inspired by her father’s illiteracy, Dolly dreamed of every child having books at home, and she’d rather be remembered as the “book lady” than the “Queen of Country.” Now, families honor her by donating to the program instead of sending flowers. Each enrolled child receives one free, age-appropriate book monthly until age five — and gets a special letter from Dolly upon completion.
