REUPPING WITH DOLLY

Rotary International and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library have recently renewed their partnership to put books into the hands of children in communities both large and small all across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom Since 2009, Rotary International has been working with the Imagination Library to promote early childhood reading. Through the Imagination Library program, a child receives an age-appropriate book each month until age five. Rotary clubs have teamed up with Dolly to bring books to children in more than 300 communities. In the video above, Dolly thanks Rotarians “for all you continue to do for my Imagination Library.” Read more about Rotary’s work with the Imagination Library in the March issue of The Rotarian. Dollywood Foundation President David Dotson also praised Rotary’s influence in his March blog post for Rotary Voices.
