In addition to her financial contribution, Parton also announced yesterday her special new bedtime stories video series, Goodnight With Dolly. Every week, she will read a bedtime story to children online, starting on Thursday, April 2 with The Little Engine That Could.

Books for the 10-week series will be drawn from Parton's Imagination Library, a literacy program that mails a book to children every month until they begin school.

"I hope this gift will further inspire a love of books and shared storytime during this important time," Parton says. "From everyone on our team, thank you so much for inspiring a love of reading in your family. As I always say — We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails — and we’re going to do just that, together."

Fans can tune in to watch Goodnight With Dolly on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. See Parton's full video announcement below.
