If you have a child, you know how important it is for them to read regularly and Dolly Parton knows this too.
In fact, Dolly Parton has created a program called the Dolly Parton Imagination Library that sends free books to children 5 and under every single month! Isn’t that amazing?!
Founded in 1988, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a gifting program that mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, no matter their family’s income.
By 2003, the program became so popular, she had sent over 1 million books to children around the world and now, there are 2 million free books are gifted each month to children around the world!
Currently, the Imagination Library program operates in 5 countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Republic of Ireland.
Children that are enrolled from birth receive 60 books by the time they graduate from the Imagination
Library.
The coolest part is, book selections include braille and bilingual book options so all children can be included!
How The Dolly Parton Imagination Library Program Works
How It Works
Each month, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library mails a high quality, age appropriate book to all registered children, addressed to them, at no cost to the child’s family.
Children who are in the same age range will receive the same book each month. For example, if you have twins, they will both receive the same book for that month.
