A post from M.S. (@MalaakSafa ) on X reads: "Dolly Parton didn’t spend her dollars on space travel or a trip to the titanic because she was writing checks to put 150 million books in the hands of children." Below the text, there is an image of Dolly Parton in a white dress, sitting on a chair and reading to a group of children seated on the floor in a large, ornate room with a crowd of adults standing in the background, some taking photos.

Be like Dolly.
