In 1995, Dolly Parton started mailing books to children in her home county to inspire children to love reading in honor of her dad, who couldn't read or write. 📖

That idea lives here too. Every month, over 7,000 children across the Lower Eastern Shore find a book in the mailbox- because of neighbors who fund it, volunteers who run it, and a woman from Sevier County, TN who started it all. 🪴

Since 2012, United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore has been the local affiliate of Imagination Library, providing over 620,000 books to over 20,000 local children. Pictured is the first child enrolled in the Imagination Library through our local affiliate in 2012. Dolly may have dreamed of the Imagination Library, but local donors and partners in our community continue to help build it. 🔨

As The Dolly Foundation beautifully put it, "There are more children to reach. More books to send. More families to bring into this wonderful community Dolly created." 📚💡

Thank you for supporting our work and Dolly's legacy. Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you. 💙
