Celebrating Dolly Parton’s 80th Birthday!

Dolly Parton turned 80 on January 19, 2026, and we invited the community to celebrate with us in a way that reflects the heart of her work.

The Literacy Cooperative collected digital birthday messages, photos, and videos from schools, supporters, and Imagination Library families who believe in early literacy and the power of books for Dolly!

Every sentence, photo, and contribution is a testimony of how important Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is in the homes of local families.

Thank you for joining the fun!

Check out this awesome video compilation from our friends at The Centers!
