Who are the Dollies? Founded in 2020 by a small group of Dolly enthusiasts, membership in the Krewe of Dolly is open to all. As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization, the Krewe of Dolly seeks to support literacy and provide free books to every child from birth to age five in New Orleans.

What is the Imagination Library? Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is the flagship program of The Dollywood Foundation dedicated to promoting literacy and inspiring a love of reading by gifting books free of charge to registered children. The Dollywood Foundation partners with local nonprofits to register local children to provide hand-selected, age-appropriate, high-quality books each month. Children in the program since birth build a library of 60 books by age five! As the local program partner, the Krewe of Dolly raises the funds needed to print and ship the books that the Dollywood Foundation sources at low cost. Your support can provide a book every month to a child, delivered directly to their doorstep!
