美国传奇歌手多莉·帕顿本周去世，享年80岁1。她于1995年创立的慈善项目"想象力图书馆"（Imagination Library）已成为其最重要的遗产之一，该项目为全球超过300万儿童免费邮寄读物1，相当于每78秒邮寄一本书1。
这一项目的初心源于帕顿的父亲——一位文盲。帕顿在网站上写道："他是我见过最聪明的人，但我从心底知道他不能读书的能力可能阻止了他实现所有梦想。"1她的父亲曾对她表示："想象力图书馆可能是我做过最重要的事情。"1
"想象力图书馆"首先于1995年在田纳西州塞维尔县推出1，随后逐步扩展至全球多个国家和地区。项目于2000年扩展到全美1，2006年进入加拿大1，2007年进入英国1，2013年进入澳大利亚1，2019年进入爱尔兰1。该项目旨在激发儿童对阅读的热爱，已获得来自世界各地家庭的广泛赞誉1。2025年，这项倡议将庆祝其30周年纪念1。
American music legend Dolly Parton passed away this week at the age of 80.1 Among her many achievements, the Imagination Library—a charitable initiative she founded in 1995—stands as one of her most enduring legacies, having distributed more than three million books free of charge to children globally.1
The inspiration for the program came from Parton's father, who was illiterate.1 Reflecting on his struggles, Parton wrote on the organization's website: "He was the smartest man I have ever known, but I know in my heart his inability to read probably kept him from fulfilling all of his dreams."1 Before his death, her father expressed his pride in the initiative, telling Parton that "the Imagination Library was probably the most important thing I had ever done."1 The program's scale is remarkable, delivering approximately one book every 78 seconds.1
Since its launch in Sevier County, Tennessee, the Imagination Library has expanded substantially across multiple countries.1 The initiative rolled out nationwide in the United States by 2000, entered Canada in 2006, reached the United Kingdom in 2007, expanded to Australia in 2013, and came to Ireland in 2019.1 As the program marks its 30th anniversary in 2025, it continues to inspire children's love of reading across families worldwide.1
