Tennessee lawmakers are poised to fully fund Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a groundbreaking literacy initiative that’s sent over 332 million books worldwide since 1995—honoring her father’s legacy and empowering kids from birth to age five. With nearly 70% of Tennessee’s young children already enrolled, the state aims to cover all costs starting in 2027, shifting the financial burden from counties and the Governor’s Foundation to the state itself. This bold move underscores Tennessee’s commitment to early education and ensures every child gets a love of reading from day one—building on Dolly’s enduring impact.
