The story of Dolly's Imagination Library

In 1996, Dolly Parton launched an exciting new effort to benefit the children of her home county in east Tennessee. Dolly wanted to foster a love of reading among her county's preschool children and their families. She wanted children to be excited about books and to feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, she could insure that every child would have books, regardless of their family's income.

The Sullivan County Imagination Library will hold a fund-raiser at Books A Million...

New Soft Cover Books Have Arrived - The books are the same high-quality, wonderful stories that children love. All children from birth to 2 years old will still receive lighter weight board books, but older children will receive the new soft cover titles. The books will have the same interior pages. These new covers’ flexibility should be easier to deliver, reduce some of the damage with the more rigid covers and conform to Post Office requirements.
