Welcome to a World of Imagination!
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is an early literacy program for children from birth until their 5th birthday.
What is Dolly Parton's Imagination Library?
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is a renowned literacy program founded by the legendary Dolly Parton whose father could not read. This initiative is dedicated to fostering a love for reading among children from birth to age five.
Every month, children enrolled in the program receive a high-quality, age-appropriate book mailed directly to their homes, at no cost to their families. The first book your child will receive is "The Little Engine Who Could" and when they turn 5, they will receive "Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come."
