Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

Dolly's Imagination Library

We became aware of this program at our library just after we moved to Utah last year. Dolly Parton strongly believes in fostering a love for reading at the preschool age. She started the "Imagination Library" in her hometown in Tennessee and has expanded it across the country. If you live in a participating community, your child will receive a brand new, hardcover, beautiful book every month until your child's 5th birthday (beginning with the classic, The Little Engine That Could). Grace and AJ have loved getting new books in the mail every month. Grace graduated in June, with the book Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten. She has a beautiful collection of books, all age appropriate and wonderful stories.

If your community participates, it's a wonderful gift. And if your community does not, I encourage you to find a way to get your community involved. There is much information at The Imagination Library's How it Works section.
