Pamela Martin-Diaz writes: “Dolly Parton believes, ‘You can never get enough books into the hands of enough children.’ In support of this belief and in honor of her father who never learned how to read or write, she established Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a program that mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, regardless of their family’s income. The idea of getting books into the hands and homes of children is fundamental to not only DPIL, but is also the purpose and heart of children’s librarianship.”
