"#DollyParton, the #singer who died Tuesday at age 80 after a brief bout with cancer, was mourned around the world as a stellar #songwriter, consummate country hitmaker, savvy #entrepreneur and generous #philanthropist.
In #Jewish circles, she was also remembered as the inspiration for #PJLibrary, a program that sends free children’s #books to Jewish families in order to foster Jewish values and traditions.
In 2015, when #HaroldGrinspoon launched PJ Library, he took a page from #Parton, who a decade earlier had started #ImaginationLibrary, a #literacy program that mails free #childrensbooks to families across the #US.
After hearing Parton interviewed about the program, #Grinspoon, a philanthropist in and out of the Jewish community, signed on as a sponsor of the Imagination Library in Western #Massachusetts, where he lives."
