How it Works

Imagination Library provides free, high-quality, age-appropriate books to children from birth to age 5. 

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). 

Each month, a carefully selected new book will arrive in the mail, allowing your child to build a personal library. If you have more than one child under 5, each child can be enrolled separately and receive their own books!

Is your child eligible? How old is your child?

Birth to 4 years and 6 months = Yes, your child is eligible to receive books.
Older than 4 years and 6 months = No, your child is ineligible to receive books through this program. It takes 9-12 weeks to be fully registered through the Imagination Library's system and to receive the first book.

You must be the child's parent or legal guardian, and the child must live with you. The mailing address must be residential (your home) not a business, and be in one of the zip codes in our service area.
