Dolly Parton's Imagination Library faces budget cuts in Indiana, where Governor Mike Braun proposed eliminating state funding. The program, which provides monthly books to children under five, has significantly impacted over 125,000 children in the state. Advocates, including Parton's representatives, are urging the state to reconsider its decision, highlighting the program's role in promoting literacy and fostering joy in families. Imagination Library originated in 1995, and has since distributed over 270 million books globally, further emphasizing the need for ongoing support from local governments.
"The beauty of the Imagination Library is that it unites us all - regardless of politics - because every child deserves the chance to dream big and succeed."
"For the past two years, the State of Indiana has been a proud partner in bringing Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to over 125,000 Hoosier children each month."
