How Old Is Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton was born on January 19, 1946. She is 63 years old as of 2009.A small change could make a big difference for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

The organization delivers a free book every month to registered kids from birth to five years old.

More than 17 thousand kids are signed up in Knox County alone.

The first and last books children receive will still be hard cover. The younger kids will get board books, designed for their age group.
