In 1996, Dolly Parton launched her
Imagination Library to benefit the children of East
Tennessee. Dolly's vision was to foster a love of reading among preschool children and their families by providing them with
the gift of a book each month. By mailing books directly to their homes, she wanted
children to be excited about books and to feel the magic that books can
create,
regardless of their family’s income.
