What benefit comes from cutting a BOOK program?!

Heidi Sinsley for NC House 69 :

North Carolina did this same thing years ago. I’m running for state legislature to help bring it back for my daughter.

Canadian girl Kelly 🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦 :

This is only because Dolly Parton has spoken out against Trump.

as a mail carrier in MO, I love delivering those 😭

kwellwhatever :

This is so sad. I was homeless with my son when he was 2 and got the free books from this program. It was the only thing we had for him at the time. This is devastating.

Mary Powers Duncan :

My baby just got her last one. She is heading to kindergarten in the fall! All three of mine got them! So proud of dolly and what she has done in Tennessee. I wish Missouri would see the benefit!

Josh Walling :

Don’t political parties know that you don’t mess with the queen of Country Music, Dolly!!!!

Inez :

Thank you for sharing this

Lizzie :

What a craziness thing to do

megashley272 :

Dolly’s Imagination Library is a critical program. I love supporting local libraries but this makes sure kids get books at a young age even if their families have barriers to accessing the library or buying books. Literacy is vital to the survival of our country… cutting funding for this is shameful.

Stories :

Me sitting in Knoxville at Dolly Parton’s Children Hospital watching this. Numerous children I know have benefited from the Imagination Library. I used to read them to my niece and have the most beautiful memories of it.

tinaray_81 🆘 🇺🇸 :

I’m in Mo and this program was amazing. My son would be so excited when his book came. It was addressed to him! We have all of our imagination station books still. Shame on Mo

bougie_q :

I paid extra for my Dolly license plates because the money goes toward her library program. Dolly will fix this.

💜📚🪖💙Bethmfr77 :

We need to switch Missouri from Republican to Democratic

Becca :

Each month when their book comes, my child says “thank you, Grandma Dolly!” 🥲

JustMe :

Yet we spent $150 million for FIFA and $600 million for a future Royals stadium downtown that residents already voted no on 🤦
