Hamilton County Honors Dolly Parton | Chattanooga News

Hamilton County School Board just gave Dolly Parton a major honor—officially recognizing her Imagination Library program, which has gifted free books to kids from birth to age five since 1995. Inspired by her father’s lack of education, the program now reaches thousands across Tennessee and beyond. One board member even credited his own daughters’ love of reading to Dolly’s monthly book deliveries. This resolution could soon go to the state legislature—and there’s more: the board is seriously considering renaming school libraries after her as a permanent tribute to her lifelong mission of boosting early literacy.
