Tennessee to Fully Fund Dolly’s Book Program | Chattanooga News

Senator Bo Watson is championing a bold plan to fully fund Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library across Tennessee, eliminating the current matching requirement that burdens rural communities. With a $3 million state investment, the proposal honors Dolly’s legacy of literacy over infrastructure, ensuring every child — no matter where they live — gets books to spark a love of reading. The bill will be formally introduced in January, aiming to create a unified, statewide program that invests in Tennessee’s youngest minds for a brighter future.
