Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, founded in 1995 and inspired by her father's illiteracy, provides free books monthly to children from birth to age five across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and Republic of Ireland. The program has grown from serving her home county in East Tennessee to gifting millions of books globally each month, with the goal of fostering early childhood literacy and helping children discover their dreams through reading. Communities can establish local programs with support from regional and state directors to bring this proven literacy initiative to their areas.
