This week, many people around the world have been remembering the extraordinary life and legacy of Dolly Parton, whose generosity extended far beyond music through her commitment to improving children's literacy.

Through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, children in Walsall have been given the gift of stories, imagination and a love of reading. Since the programme launched in Walsall in 2020, more than 12,000 books have been delivered to over 400 children through the Walsall Virtual School, helping to support early language development, confidence and a lifelong enjoyment of books.

For many children and families, these monthly deliveries have become much more than a free book. They have created special moments between children and carers, supported bedtime routines, strengthened relationships and helped children build libraries of their own.

The impact of the programme continues to be felt across the borough, inspiring wider reading initiatives and helping give children the best possible start in life. Children enrolled from birth can receive more than 60 books before they start school, opening up hundreds of opportunities to share stories with the adults who care for them.

As we reflect on Dolly Parton's remarkable legacy, we are grateful for the lasting difference her vision has made to children and families in Walsall and across the world. ❤️📚
