The Imagination Library
We bet you have never heard about this next fun fact – Dolly Parton started a book distribution business called The Imagination Library! Her father was illiterate, and this inspired her to work on this project. The drive started in 1995, and she donated books to children under 5 years old. The program aimed to introduce little kids to reading, so that they will grow up to be readers!
