Dolly Parton announced on her Facebook page that she will begin reading stories for children, every Thursday night at 7 p.m.
The storytime event already began on Thursday, April 2nd, 2020, and will run for the next 10 weeks, through June 4th. Each event is scheduled to be about 15 minutes long.
The events will take place through Facebook Live. You can see the schedule and watch Dolly’s video announcement on Facebook as well.
