In Kentucky, where we're all about family and community, a wonderful program is quietly making a profound impact on the state's youngest residents. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, a beloved initiative by the legendary country singer and philanthropist Dolly Parton, has been nurturing the imaginations and literacy skills of children across the Bluegrass State, one book at a time.
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library started in 1995. Dolly, who grew up in a family that valued learning but had few books, wanted every child to have access to the magic of reading, regardless of their family's finances.
Let's dive into how this program is making a difference and how your family can benefit.
It's simple: kids from birth to five receive free, age-appropriate books to spark their imaginations. Through partnerships with local organizations, businesses, and the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library was brought to life in the Bluegrass State.
Each month, registered children receive a carefully selected book delivered right to their doorstep. These books cover a wide range of subjects and themes, from classic tales to contemporary stories, sparking curiosity and creativity.
