Sad to see one of the greats taken from us, but what a legacy she's leaving behind. To mangle Ozymandias' quote: "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and rejoice!"

i know multiple libraries in SWVA that got most of their funding through "Dolly Parton wants kids to be able to read" money
Requiescat in pace. 🕯️
