Dolly Parton's
Imagination Library
We're sending books to children in our community in partnership with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.
Where's Dolly Wednesday?
We're partnering with local businesses to bring Dolly to the community!
Our life-size Dolly Parton cutout will be popping up at local businesses in May alongside Douglas County Libraries for stories and fun featuring Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Follow us on social media and watch this page, your email, and our website for upcoming dates and locations.
Our May partner stops are booked. Interested in being a future host partner? Learn more »
Through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, children ages 0-5 receive and get to keep a free high-quality, age-appropriate book each month, sent straight to their home. We're excited to help create more opportunities to read together, build strong literacy foundations, encourage a love of reading, and increase the potential for school success.
It's easy and free! Register each child from birth to age five individually; every child in your Douglas County family may receive their own books. Let's inspire a love of reading together!
*Allow 6-8 weeks for delivery of your first book from Tennessee, after which books are delivered every month.
