Build your child's home library for free! 

In partnership with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, we provide free, age-appropriate books to children from birth to age 5. Each month a new book will arrive in the mail, allowing children to build their own personal libraries, regardless of family income. 

We aim to foster the parent-child connection through a love of books. When young children are read to by adults they develop literacy skills that prepare them to succeed in school. Books have the power to engage the imagination and contribute to a brighter future!

Sign your child up to receive free books!

Every month children age zero to five in the zip codes recieve a book in the mail.

If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child under age 5, we invite you to enroll your child at the child's home address (business addresses are not permitted).  

If you have several children under 5, each child can be enrolled separately and receive their own books.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was started by Dolly in her home state of Tennessee in 1995. 

She felt that the seeds of children’s dreams could often be found in books. She was further inspired by her own beloved father, who could not read or write.
