Over 700 local kids are on a waitlist to get access to free monthly books.
YOU can help give the gift of reading
2024 was our biggest year yet! Over 5,500 local kids are getting free, high-quality, age-appropriate books in their mailboxes every month through our work with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
However, demand for the program is at an all-time high
Each month this year, our waitlist averaged 300 kids. Right now, we’re at an alarming 700+ kids who cannot get access to their free books due to limited resources.
With a monthly donation, you can help ensure that no child sits on a waitlist for free books ever again.
Monthly not for you? For every $26.25 donated, you can remove a child from the waitlist and give them free books every month for a whole year.

“My son, Benny, just turned 2 and checks the mail daily for his new book from “Dowwy Pawton.” He has such a love for books and I attribute a big part of that to his imagination library deliveries!”
