Read the Beautiful Letter Dolly Parton Sent to Imagination Library Graduates: ‘There Is No Limit to What You Can Do’
The singer, who died last Tuesday at 80, included the touching note in the final book sent to five-year-olds as they got ready to start school.
Dolly Parton's final message to Imagination Library graduates, delivered in her last book before starting school, emphasizes the limitless possibilities for children's futures. Despite Parton's father never learning to read or write, she launched the Imagination Library in 1995, inspired by his legacy of smart decision-making and family values.
The program, now mailing two million books monthly globally, aims to instill a love for reading and provide young minds with new friends and adventures through literature. Parton's uplifting message to graduates encourages them to dream big, learn, and care for others, assuring them of their potential to achieve anything. The Library of Congress paid tribute to Parton's contributions to children's literacy, noting her Imagination Library's multiple awards and her visit to the Library to donate its 100 millionth book.
