Check out the latest news from Dolly's Imagination Library. What a success! 
Hey, y'all! As with many other non-profit entities, our R and B Literacy program--the Austin branch of Dolly's Imagination Library!--is unable to put on our annual fundraiser in the Spring of 2022, due to a certain infamous virus that keeps goin' round. The Dolly bash is our primary source of income for keeping Dolly's dream a reality in Austin. This is the second year in a row we've had to hold off, so we're super sad about it. But, everyone must stay healthy!

So. We could really use YOUR help to keep our kids reading in 2022!

For a single $27 donation, you can pay for an entire year of Dolly's Imagination Library participation for one lucky child.

Would you consider sponsoring one of our Austin kids for 2022, in the name of all that is Dolly?

Your thoughtful donation of $27 (or any amount you prefer) is accepted here:

PRESS RELEASE FROM DOLLY'S IMAGINATION LIBRARY

Documentary Release Date Reset:

"The Library That Dolly Built" documentary, initially set for a 335+ screen release on 4/2/20, will be rescheduled for nationwide release the week of 9/21/20, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the founding of The Imagination Library. 

Regarding the film’s release, Dolly said:

“Although it was the right thing to do, postponing the screening of our documentary was a disappointment. So many of our Imagination Library affiliates had organized events around the nationwide screenings, however things do have a way of working out so the documentary will still have its day.”
THANK YOU!

We at R & B Literacy want to holler out a giant DOLLY-SIZED THANKS to all who attended and participated in our 2020 Love, Dolly bash on Feb 15th! 

Y'all help keep Austin kids reading, and that gift is priceless.

At our annual Dolly bash on Saturday, Feb 15 we'll have a dedicated spot where you can donate to our Amplify Austin campaign.
