Dolly Parton created the Dollywood Foundation in 1988 to provide inspiration and educational resources to children.
The Imagination Library, inspired by her father’s inability to read, has donated millions of books globally to promote childhood literacy.
Thank you, Dolly.

Have libraries changed your life?
I'm speaking this afternoon @houseofcommons reception on how libraries changed my life. As a child, I visited my local East Ham Library every Saturday with my Dad & bros.
As UK Libraries Champion @CILIPinfo (2019-21) & ambassador for @readingagency, I will keep shouting on the roof tops about libraries 🗣️
From supporting learning at all ages, to improving digital literacy for the most vulnerable, to equipping people with the skills they need to thrive in the modern economy, libraries are truly engines of social mobility #LibrariesChangeLives

Today, CILIP co-hosts a Parliamentary reception celebrating the positive impact of how #LibrariesChangeLives by Creating Opportunities. Thanks to Laurence Turner MP & 11 library sector organisations, the event connects policymakers & the library sector. cilip.org.uk/page/libraries-…
