Team Kentucky Will Livestream Event to Celebrate Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library

Dolly Parton will be featured.

(Frankfort, Ky.) – Dolly Parton will take part in an event this afternoon to celebrate the statewide expansion of her Imagination Library.

Governor Andy Beshear and First Lady Britainy Beshear will livestream a special event on Facebook and YouTube featuring the country music icon at 4:55 p.m.

Visit facebook.com/GovAndyBeshear/ or youtube.com/GovAndyBeshear to watch the event live.

“Team Kentucky is proud to be a part of bringing books to children across the commonwealth,” said Gov. Beshear. “The program has already had a tremendous impact on the state, and we are excited to help extend its reach even further.”

Thanks to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Kentucky and the work of over 120 local program partners, more than 120,000 Kentucky children under five years old receive free books every month.

To receive monthly books from the program, visit the Imagination Library’s website. There is no deadline to register for the program.

The program is supported by a 50 percent state to local program funding match, which was included in the state budget that was approved by the General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. Beshear in 2021. The following year, lawmakers and the Governor formalized their commitment to a statewide program by passing legislation and including funding in the two-year budget.
