The Imagination Library
Dolly started a book distribution company called, “The Imagination Library.” She was apparently driven to have this project because of her father’s illiteracy. Her effort started in 1995 and books were given to children below 5 years old. The aim is to introduce the amazing world of reading to young children, so in turn would start a habit for life.
