Acclaimed singer, songwriter, actress, and advocate Dolly Parton visited Charleston, West Virginia this week to celebrate the state’s full participation in the early childhood literacy program she started in 1995.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library provides a free book each month to participating children aged birth to five. West Virginia’s children have received 3.7 million books to-date, at no charge to their families.
