Imagination Library of Dearborn County

The Imagination Library started in Dearborn County in 2008, and we’ve provided books to thousands of local children over the years. Children who enroll from birth build a personal library of 60 brand new age-appropriate books, which they can return to over and over again! This establishes a foundation for future learning and success.

Since launching in 1995, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has become the preeminent early childhood book-gifting program in the world. The flagship program of The Dollywood Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has gifted over 200 million free books in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and The Republic of Ireland. The Imagination Library mails more than 2 million high-quality, age-appropriate books each month to enrolled children from birth to age five. Dolly envisioned creating a lifelong love of reading and inspiring children to dream more, learn more, care more and be more.

Give the gift of reading!

For only $31 you can cover the entire cost to provide one book each month directly to a local child for an entire year! This keeps the program at no cost to the family, regardless of their income status.
