Entertainer, childhood literacy advocate, and scientific philanthropist Dolly Parton was born #OTD in 1946.
Mostly known for singing and songwriting, Dolly's Imagination Library program has distributed over 100 million free books to kids around the world.

Normally I do #OTD posts for scientists and mathematicians, or important discoveries. But Dolly Parton has done as much as any living person to promote childhood literacy so I am proud to include her on the list.
