​Library of Congress Awards Imagination Library With David M. Rubenstein Prize

The worldwide literacy program that many have called “The Little Program That Could” continues to receive praise and recognition for its role in shaping the future for millions of children around the world. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library received one of the highest literacy honors from the Library of Congress on International Literacy Day for the work it does to instill a love of reading in kids. The Library of Congress awarded the Imagination Library, an initiative of The Dollywood Foundation, with the $150,000 David M. Rubenstein Prize for its work in delivering more than 160 million books to children around the world. Dolly herself visited the Library of Congress on February 28, 2018 to enshrine the program’s 100 millionth book, fittingly a copy of Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors, which is an adaptation of her iconic song of the same name.
