The Imagination Library was first launched in 1995, to benefit Parton’s home county in Tennessee. Since its inception, the program has gifted over 240 million age-appropriate books to children in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland.
Parton’s Imagination Library was brought to Hancock County in 2014, established by Hancock Literacy, previously the Literacy Coalition of Hancock County.Â
