The bill proposes the enactment of section 5.64 of the Revised Code, which designates September 25th as "Dolly Parton Imagination Library Reading Day." This designation aims to honor Dolly Parton's significant contributions to childhood literacy and to promote reading among children in Ohio.
The new legal language emphasizes the importance of reading by encouraging parents, guardians, caregivers, family members, and other adults to engage with children in reading activities, thereby fostering a lifelong love of reading. This initiative aligns with the broader goals of enhancing literacy and educational engagement within the state.
