Ty's Take
Dolly Parton changed this town without ever setting foot here, which says something about the reach of a life spent giving. The Imagination Library has put books in the hands of kids around Pagosa Springs for years now, the kind of thing that happens quietly until you look up and realize how many local children know her name because of what she believed libraries could do. She's gone, but the work doesn't stop, and that's the whole point of a legacy worth carrying. The staff down there knows what she knew: a book in a kid's hands early is a book that might change everything else that comes after.
