🎉Join us in celebrating a monumental milestone—4 Million Books Gifted in Canada! 🇨🇦 From our very first book gifted in Canada to today’s milestone, every book has represented more than just pages and words—each one is a gift of possibility, imagination, and connection. We couldn’t have reached this remarkable milestone without the dedication and passion of our Local Program Partners. Together, we’re bringing Dolly's dream to life across : inspiring a lifelong love of reading, one child at a time. 📚✨

Celebrating 30 Years of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library!🎉

For 30 years, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has been changing lives—one book, one child, one dream at a time. What started as a small-town promise in Tennessee has grown into a worldwide gift of literacy, inspiring a love of reading in over 270 million children in 5 countries.

Dolly’s vision was simple but powerful: every child deserves the joy of books, no matter where they come from. Today, because of her heart and generosity, and with the help of local program partners across the globe, millions of children have turned their first pages, discovered new worlds, and built brighter futures—one book at a time.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Dolly for showing us how to Dream More, Learn More, Care More and Be More. Here’s to 30 years—and many more—of inspiring a lifelong love of reading! 📚

We as adults can learn from this child!

Rachel Pratt is a teacher at a school in Kennewick, Washington. She loves her job, and she loves all of her students, But this past Christmas, on the last day of school before Christmas break, one of those students gave her what turned out to be her favorite gift of all.

This is what Rachel posted to Facebook: “Today was the last day before our winter break. We will have two weeks off to rest with our families and loved ones over the holidays then head back to school in 2019.

With it being the day before break and Christmas right around the corner, most teachers bring their kiddos something such as books or little treats and occasionally in return receive something from their students.

Today I received some chocolates, sweet handmade notes, some jewelry, but these Lucky Charm marshmallows stood out to me the most.

You see, 100% of my school is on free/reduced lunch. They also get free breakfast at school every day of the school week. This kiddo wanted to get me something so badly, but had nothing to give.

So rather than give me nothing, this student opened up her free breakfast cereal this morning, took the packaging of her spork, straw, and napkin, and finally took the time to take every marshmallow out of her cereal to put in a bag—for me.

Be grateful for what you have, and what others give you. It all truly comes from the deepest parts of their hearts.”
