But apart from her legend as a musician and actress, she'll be remembered for her Imagination Library, a program she started in 1995, which has mailed free books to millions of children between birth and the start of kindergarten

On Feb. 27, Parton will present the 100 millionth book donation from Imagination Library to the Library of Congress's collection.

Parton will read to local students during the book presentation, open to the public at the Library of Congress's Thomas Jefferson Building in Washington, D.C.
