Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

In 1996, Dolly Patron launched a literacy program for children in her home county in east Tennessee. She wanted to foster a love of reading in pre-school children and their families. She gave a brand new, age appropriate book each month to every child under 5 years old in her county and mailed it directly to their home.

The program was an incredible success and Imagination Library was launched across the United States. In November 2006, the program was expanded to Canada.

Numerous Rotary Clubs have partnered with Imagination Library to bring literacy to their communities.
