多莉·帕顿于周三上午去世,享年80岁 1。她创办的“想象力图书馆”项目在澳大利亚塔姆沃思影响深远,当地社区现呼吁继续提供资金以维持该项目运转,因为项目运营费用主要由地方社区承担 1。
自2013年在澳大利亚启动以来,该项目已向全国480个社区的15.1万名儿童发放了超过200万本书籍 1。在塔姆沃思,该项目自2019年运行以来,平均约有3500名儿童参与,且当地超过98%的新生儿均已注册 1。维持该项目需要持续的资金投入,每本书的发放成本为每名儿童每月9澳元,这意味着塔姆沃思每年需筹集近40万澳元才能让所有符合条件的儿童继续参与 1。7月,泰勒·斯威夫特与特拉维斯·凯尔西曾向该图书馆项目捐赠了200万美元(278万澳元) 1。
Country music icon Dolly Parton died on Wednesday morning at the age of 80 1. Following her death, the community in Tamworth, recognized as Australia's country music capital, has called for continued financial support to keep her Imagination Library running, as the program's operational costs are primarily borne by local communities 1. In Australia, more than two million books have been delivered to 151,000 children across 480 communities since the program launched in 2013 1. In Tamworth, where the program has run since 2019, about 3,500 children are on average enrolled 1. Since 2019, more than 98 per cent of children born in Tamworth have been enrolled in the initiative 1.
Each book delivered costs $9 per child per month 1. In Tamworth, that equates to just under $400,000 a year required to keep every eligible child enrolled 1. In July, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce donated US$2 million ($2.78 million) to the Imagination Library 1. The local community now urges continued funding to sustain the program and preserve Parton's legacy 1.
