In 1995, Dolly Parton started the Imagination Library in Sevier County, TN, her hometown. The idea sprang from her father’s struggle with reading and writing. Motivated to foster a love for books in children, the program provided free books to kids from birth to age five, encouraging a passion for reading in the young lives of the mountain community where she grew up.
