Dolly Parton Day, One Million Big Sky Books, Carroll’s New Tuition Model

On Dolly Parton Day in Montana, 9-25, First Lady Susan Gianforte joins the program to discuss the remarkable growth of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which delivers 3 million free books monthly to children under age 5. Montana’s program has now reached the milestone of one million books delivered to children since it’s 2023 inception in the state.

Then Kathleen O’Leary of Carroll College explains the school’s new tuition model and discusses what the tuition reset could mean for Montana families and the path of higher education.
