Literacy - The Dolly Parton Imagination Library
I In 1995, Dolly Parton launched an exciting new effort, Dolly Parton’s
Imagination Library, to benefit the children of her home county in East
Tennessee, USA. Dolly’s vision was to foster a love of reading among her
county’s preschool children and their families. The new program gave each
child a specially selected book each month. By mailing high quality, age
appropriate books directly to their homes, Dolly wanted children to be excited about books and to feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, she could ensure that every child would
have books, regardless of their family’s income.
Girl Scouts
During the school year, the Zonta Club of Fredericksburg sponsors the Fredericksburg
and surrounding areas Girl Scout Unit where we act as Unit Leaders, Troop Leaders,
attend meetings and providing support as needed.
