The ‘Imagination Library’, which she started in the United States in 1995, aims to deliver one free book every month to every child in Nottingham, from birth up to their fifth birthday, to encourage a love of books.
The singer posted a video in which she explains the local initiative, starting with the East Midlands greeting ‘Ay up mi duck’.’ The message launches a week of action to promote Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and raise donations.
The singer has given Nottingham City Council an exclusive song from her new children’s music album, due to be released in the autumn. The track, I Believe in You, can be downloaded for free and the profits from the rest of the album will be dedicated to support the Imagination Library.
