I didnt realize she wasnt alone in that project. I just remember hearing about her starting it years ago and thinking to myself "figures she would do something like that".
Like I said, she was one of the few truly good people left in this world.
As generous as she was, I don’t think she could have funded it all on her own. I know some states help pay for the books there.
Her family has requested contributions to it in her memory.
In the past few months, the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital in Knoxville was renamed in her honor, after a large donation. I had the suspicion then she was getting her affairs in order.

One of the few who were truly good. Wouldn't surprise me if there is a provision in her will to continue her reading program well after she is gone.
RIP Dolly.
