We give thanks for the generosity and vision of Dolly Parton in creating the Imagination Library. In 1995 Dolly Parton started mailing books to children in her home county to inspire children to love reading in honor of her dad, who could not read or write. Monroe County has been a part of this initiative since September, 2023. Today, over 500 Monroe County children participate in the library, receiving an age appropriate book mailed to their homes monthly. Over 368 children have graduated (at age 5) from the Monroe County program. Thank you, Dolly Parton, for your giving heart, ensuring that this program lives on, much like your music, making the world a better place! With love and thanks...and to those of you who would like to enroll your children in this program, please go to www.imaginationlibrary.com, and enter your zipcode.
