Parton, legendary and award-winning country music artist, actress and icon, started the Imagination Library"Today is an amazing milestone for children and families across the state!" Parton said in a press release sent out by Governor Gavin Newsom's office Tuesday. "Dolly Parton unites us through her music - and through her commitment to helping all kids develop a love for reading," Newsom said.
Newsom said that the expansion will be complete within the next five years, making more than 2.4 million children eligible for the program, "broadening millions of young minds to a world of unlimited possibilities."
