It's hard to estimate how much she's done for east TN and Sevierville in particular but id bet good money its more than any of our politicians could claim :(

May the Imagination Library live forever

i know multiple libraries in SWVA that got most of their funding through "Dolly Parton wants kids to be able to read" money

Sad to see one of the greats taken from us, but what a legacy she's leaving behind. To mangle Ozymandias' quote: "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and rejoice!"
