Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

It is critical to help young children be ready for school by working with them to develop their reading and learning skills. This is why, since October of 2014, our team has worked to enroll more than 8,000 area children from birth to the age 5 into the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

This program fosters a love of reading among children and their families by providing them with the gift of a specially selected book each month. Children receive an age-appropriate book by mail monthly until the age of 5 years old. Any local child in this age group may receive books, regardless of income.

As of August 2026, 2,184 children are enrolled to receive books each month, setting up more than 2,000 children to graduate from the program after reaching their fifth birthday.
