How it Works
ENROLL
Parents enroll their children age 0 to 4 in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Currently, parents can enroll online or using a paper form at any one of our local community partners.
RECEIVE
Every month until their 5th birthday, the child receives an age-appropriate book in the mail addressed to them. Books are 100% free!
READ
Children grow up in a home full of books. Books help baby learn shapes, colors, letters and numbers. Older kids get rhyming books, complex stories, and stories about diversity. Imagination Library books are selected to help children be ready for kindergarten. It’s that simple!
