Dolly Parton, the renowned musician and philanthropist, has died at 80. Her legacy includes the Imagination Library, a program she launched in 1995 to provide free books to children from birth until they begin school, regardless of their family's income. The initiative, inspired by her father's inability to read, has distributed over 300 million books to more than 3 million children worldwide. It operates in the U.S., Canada, the UK, Ireland, and Australia. Parton's Imagination Library has been recognized as a significant contribution to child literacy, earning multiple awards from the Library of Congress.
