Dolly Parton understood something beautifully simple: a book can change a life.
Through her Imagination Library, she has helped put millions of books into the hands of children, building a love of reading from the very beginning.
Dolly’s commitment to literacy reminds us that literacy isn’t only a childhood gift. It’s a lifelong opportunity.
For adults who struggle with reading, literacy can mean being able to fill out a job application, read to a child, understand important information, navigate everyday life with confidence, or finally pick up a book and enjoy it for themselves.
This is the work we’re proud to continue here at the Wichita Adult Literacy Council. We help open doors for adults to greater independence, opportunity, and connection. We believe Dolly got it right when she boldly supported literacy. It’s never too late to learn! 💖📚
