Parton releasing "When Life Is Good Again" isn't the only way the country singer has reached out in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic! As People shares, Parton launched a 10-week webseries called Goodnight with Dolly back in April, where she reads books for children.
All of the books she chose to read as part of Goodnight with Dolly were from Parton's Imagination Library book gifting program, which she began in 1995 as a way to promote literacy. Imagination Library sees Parton mailing books to households that have children who are age 5 or younger, and to date, she's donated over 130 million books through the initiative.

"My longtime friend Dr. Naji Abumrad, who’s been involved in research at Vanderbilt for many years, informed me that they were making some exciting advancements towards research of the coronavirus for a cure," Parton explained on Twitter. "I am making a donation of $1 million to Vanderbilt towards that research and to encourage people that can afford it to make donations."
