Putting Millions of Books in Kids Hands

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library https://imaginationlibrary.com provides free books to children from birth to age five to inspire a love of reading. It is funded by Dolly Parton and local community partners in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Republic of Ireland. Dolly was inspired by her father’s inability to read. Dolly started her Imagination Library in 1995 for the children within her home county. Today, her Imagination Library is in five countries and mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, no matter their family’s income. Over 1 million books are gifted each month to children around the world.
