Give Like Dolly Day tomorrow

Thursday, 24 September 2026 13:20

The first annual Give Like Dolly Day is taking place this week and will fundraise to get more children around the Island reading.

The Isle of Man Imagination Library says since Dolly Parton's death last month more people have become aware of her philanthropy work.

Around 57 per cent of children under five on the Isle of Man are eligible to sign up to receive free books from the scheme, depending on where they live.

Give like Dolly Day is being held on Friday, September 25.
