Dolly Parton is not only an award-winning singer but also a philanthropist and advocate of literacy. Back in 1995, she started a program, the Imagination Library, to donate millions of books to children in different countries. And on February 27, she marked a milestone by giving her 100 millionth book to the Library of Congress.
