Summary

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is exploding in Ohio, especially in Lake County, where enrollment surged after her passing—driving website crashes and hundreds of new sign-ups in just one week. Now reaching two-thirds of eligible kids statewide, Ohio leads the nation in participation, fueled by Dolly’s enduring legacy as the “Book Lady.” Governor and First Lady have championed the program, streamlining sign-ups even at birth certificate offices, while special Dolly license plates are flying off shelves—with proceeds directly funding local libraries. Families are rallying around these free books, turning them into cherished family moments. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
