Unrelated to AFSCME archives, I also help manage the #WayneState program parter for #Dolly Parton's #ImaginationLibrary, which provides books to children under the age of 5 who are registered in the 48201 and 48202 zip codes. Made possible by donations: give.wayne.edu/campaigns/37...

An office cubicle shown through its entryway. On the left is a near-life-size cutout of Dolly Parton holding a book. On the right is a larger-than-life cutout of former AFSCME president Jerry Wurf with a stern facial expression. A book cart, shelves, tables, boxes, and a concrete pillar are depicted along with various artwork/posters adorning the cubicle walls. Large windows fill the background with partial city skyline behind sheer shades. All under a dusty drop ceiling and fluorescent lighting.

No one has a cooler cubicle than me!

Thanks to Dolly Parton, 1 in 7 US children under the age of 5 receive free books every month Dolly Parton created the Imagination Library as a tribute to her father, who never learned how to read.

What an incredible human being. 💫

"Over the last 30 years, Dolly Parton has donated more than 270 million books to children in need."

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Launches in San Francisco | KQED Dolly Parton launched the program 30 years ago to inspire children to read as early as possible, and it has expanded to every state in the nation.

Now I know how #DollyParton does it. Her organization manages the administrative details, allowing municipalities to cheaply and efficiently provide books to children. #SanFrancisco is now part of the #ImaginationLibrary system.

Ohio to allow Dolly Parton Imagination Library signups from hospital at birth Ohio First Lady Fran DeWine used some star power to make a big announcement about Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Ohio. She was joined by country music legend Zac Brown to announce the state is making it easier than ever to sign up. The program sends children one free book each month until they’re 5 years old to help them fall in love with reading early. Every hospital in Ohio will now offer the ability to sign up for the program as part of their birth certificate paperwork. “This is going to really help us sign up the kids and families that we have not been able to reach,” DeWine said. “We’re going into new neighborhoods just by letting them sign right up at the hospital.” The first lady said the program is helping more than 400,000 children across the state.

Ohio newborns get a head start on literacy! 🎉 Hospitals now enrolling babies in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. #DollyParton #ImaginationLibrary #Ohio #Literacy #Newborns #Books
