Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Expands to More States

The program now reaches children in 21 states and aims to boost literacy with free monthly books.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library provides free books to children under 5 in 21 states.
The program was inspired by Parton's father, who never learned to read.
Over 240 million books have been distributed since the program began in 1995.
Missouri and Kentucky recently celebrated statewide expansions of the initiative.
Parton hopes to see the program implemented in every state across the U.S.
