Today, we join millions around the world in mourning the loss of Dolly Parton, a beloved music icon, philanthropist, and champion for children.

Through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, she helped foster a love of reading for generations of young learners by putting high-quality, age-appropriate books directly into the hands of millions of children throughout the world.

At Volusia County Schools, we share Dolly’s belief that literacy changes lives. Through our PreK-12 literacy initiative, we are committed to helping every student become a confident reader, writer, and communicator.

From fostering a love of books in our youngest learners to strengthening literacy skills across all grade levels, we know, just like Dolly did, that reading opens doors to opportunity.

Dolly's family is encouraging donations to the Imagination Library in lieu of flowers. Learn more about the Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com.
