About Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library

Dolly Parton launched the Imagination Library in 1995 to foster an early love of reading and learning in her hometown of Sevier County, Tenn. The Imagination Library has since become the highest quality, most recognizable and most effective book gifting resource in the world. Policy makers, funders, early childhood organizations and families trust the Imagination Library

How Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Works

This premier program mails free high-quality, age-appropriate books to registered children every month from birth to age 5. Children enrolled from birth receive 60 books by the time they graduate from the Imagination Library program. The Foundation covers overhead costs and negotiates wholesale pricing for the books, while local community partners cover the cost of mailing and the cost of the books.

Imagination Library books are specially selected high-quality titles. Each one is personalized with the child's name and mailed directly to the child's home, making it a special and personalized gift that fosters a love of reading.

The Rotary Club of Port Townsend is the community partner for the Imagination Library. We cover 50% of the costs of the program. The balance of the funding is provided by Washington State and United Ways of the Pacific Northwest.
