How Dolly Parton, a country music icon, is assisting numerous children in California

California’s extension of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library now qualifies every kid under five to receive a free book in the mail each month.

California will have the largest Imagination Library in the country thanks to the recently expanded book-giving program, and it will also be the first state to offer multilingual books in English and Spanish.

The Imagination Library was founded in 1995 by iconic and award-winning country music performer, actor, and icon Dolly Parton to promote a love of reading.
