Dolly Parton’s philanthropic legacy includes an extraordinary 332 million free books gifted to children through her Imagination Library. The country icon launched the programme in 1995, inspired by her father, who could not read or write. 'I saw how crippling that could be,' she said. The monthly scheme now provides free books to children under five, with Parton saying she hoped to help give them the chance to dream 'of becoming a doctor or an inventor' - or even 'a writer and singer.' #dollyparton #imaginationlibrary #music #celebrity
