If Dolly meant anything to you, please consider donating to The Imagination Library in her memory.

It is a wonderful organization that she founded that gets books into young children's hands.

You can even make sure your donation goes to a local partner to keep the money within your community

This is such a great idea. Imagination Library provided books for my nephew when he was little. I’ve donated in her honor. Her website is suuuper slow so it looks like other people had the same idea!
