Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has sent 200 million books to children in an effort to foster a love of reading.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, no matter their family’s income.

The project is a tribute to Parton’s father. The goal of the project is to foster an early love of reading in children.

After launching in 1995, the program grew quickly. The first books were distributed to children living in Sevier County, Tenn., where Dolly grew up. It became such a success that in 2000 a national replication effort was underway. By 2003, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library had mailed 1 million books.

The program keeos growing.

To celebrate her 200 million Imagination Library books, Parton plans to give away bookmarks to seven randomly selected children in September in their Imagination Library books. The children with the bookmarks will receive an autographed personalized letter from Parton, a video chat with the singer, and four tickets to Dollywood Theme Park.
