Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton's long literacy efforts for children continued Tuesday when the country icon presented her 100 millionth book from her Imagination Library to the Library of Congress in Washington  D.C.  and announced a new partnership.
"I just want to say how honored I am  before we pull that little thing off  that . . . you have taken this to heart and that you've taken this in  and we will now have this book that I can actually have here forever for all the little children all over the world  certainly in the United States of America here in D.C. "  Parton  said as  she  donated  her  book "Coat of Many Colors" to the children in attendance.
" Dolly Parton's  work through  her  Imagination Library is awe-inspiring " Hayden said in the Library of Congress statement. "They have counted the number of books given away — 100 million — but there is no way to truly quantify the impact this program has had on developing young readers across America and in other parts of the world.
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library started in 1995 as a book-gifting organization that has mailed 100 million books to children in Australia  Canada  United Kingdom  and the United States  according to the Library of Congress.
