Dolly Parton's Imagination Library
What Is It?
In 1995, Dolly Parton launched an exciting new effort, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, to benefit the children of her home county in East Tennessee, USA. Dolly’s vision was to foster a love of reading among her county’s preschool children and their families. The new program gave each child a specially selected book each month.
By mailing high quality, age appropriate books directly to their homes, Dolly wanted children to be excited about books and to feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, she could ensure that every child would have books, regardless of their family’s income.

Help us bring more books to children across Knox County through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
We are currently looking for volunteers who can help collect books and assist with updating our book ordering system.
It only costs $31 to provide a child with a full year of reading.
