Inspired by her father’s inability to read and write Dolly started her Imagination Library in 1995 for the children within her home county. Today, her program spans five countries and gifts millions of free books each month to children around the world.

受其父亲无法读写这一事实的启发，多莉于1995年为她家乡县的儿童创办了“想象力图书馆”。如今，她的项目已覆盖五个国家，每月向世界各地的儿童赠送数百万本免费书籍。

“When I was growing up in the hills of East Tennessee, I knew my dreams would come true. I know there are children in your community with their own dreams. They dream of becoming a doctor or an inventor or a minister. Who knows, maybe there is a little girl whose dream is to be a writer and singer. The seeds of these dreams are often found in books and the seeds you help plant in your community can grow across the world.”

“当我在东田纳西州的群山中长大时，我就知道我的梦想会成真。我知道在你们的社区里也有怀揣梦想的孩子。他们梦想成为医生、发明家或牧师。谁知道呢，也许有个小女孩的梦想是成为一名作家和歌手。这些梦想的种子往往藏在书中，而你们在社区中播下的种子可以传遍全世界。”

In 1995, Dolly Parton launched an exciting new effort, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, to benefit the children of her home county in East Tennessee, USA. Dolly’s vision was to foster a love of reading among her county’s preschool children and their families by providing them with the gift of a specially selected book each month.

1995年，多莉·帕顿发起了一项令人振奋的新计划——多莉·帕顿的“想象力图书馆”，旨在造福她家乡美国东田纳西州的儿童。多莉的愿景是通过每月赠送一本精心挑选的书籍，培养该县学龄前儿童及其家庭的阅读兴趣。

By mailing high quality, age-appropriate books directly to their homes, she wanted children to be excited about books and to feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, she could ensure that every child would have books, regardless of their family’s income.

通过将高质量、适合年龄的书籍直接邮寄到家中，她希望孩子们能对书籍感到兴奋，并感受到书籍所创造的魔力。此外，她还能确保每个孩子都能拥有书籍，无论其家庭收入如何。
