Country music legend Dolly Parton continues to spread kindness and literacy with her Imagination Library program. The program sends free books to children from birth to age five, regardless of their family’s income. In a recent announcement, it was revealed that children from 21 states, including Missouri, will benefit from this initiative.
Dolly Parton, known for her philanthropic efforts, created the Imagination Library program in 1995 to inspire a love for reading among young children. The program mails age-appropriate books to registered children each month, helping to build their home libraries and foster a lifelong passion for learning.
Missouri families can now sign up for the Imagination Library program and receive free books for their children. With over 1,600 local communities participating in the program, children across the state will have access to quality books that will help them develop their reading skills and imagination.
The impact of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program extends beyond just providing books to children. Research has shown that children who participate in the program have higher reading scores and are more likely to succeed in school. By encouraging early literacy and a love for reading, Dolly Parton is helping to set children up for success in the future.
Families in Missouri who are interested in signing up for the program can do so through their local community or online. With Dolly Parton’s continued dedication to promoting literacy and education, children across the state will have the opportunity to embark on a literary journey that will benefit them for years to come.
