What Is Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library?

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is...FREE!
 

“This program is one of the most important ways I know to improve the educational opportunities for children in your community!”
Suppose it sounds almost too simple to be true by reading regularly with your children during their preschool years. In that case, you are giving them the most significant boost toward a successful education they will ever get. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library will help you read with your child. There are many reasons parents do not read to their children, but we can eliminate one of them. Thanks to United Way of Miami County and Dolly Parton, every child will have books of their own at no cost to you.
A new, carefully selected book will be mailed in your child’s name directly to your home each month. They can look forward to new and exciting reading adventures from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library until they turn five years old if they remain a resident of Miami County. Should the child move outside Miami County, they automatically exit the program.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a FREE GIFT to our children! All you have to do is read to your children.
Who Is Eligible?
Any baby born at Dukes Memorial Hospital after September 1, 2009, and residing in Miami County.
What Are My Responsibilities?
1. Be a resident of Miami County.
2. Submit an official registration form, completely filled out by parent or guardian (form must be approved and on file with United Way of Miami County).
3. Notify United Way of Miami County any time your address changes. Books are mailed to the address listed on the official registration form. If the child’s address changes, you must contact your friends at the address on this brochure in order to continue receiving books.
4. Read with your child. When Will I Receive Books? Eight to ten weeks after your registration form has been received, books will begin arriving at your home and will continue until your child turns five or you move out of Miami County.
How Can I Help? Do you know a newborn child in Miami County who is not receiving Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library?
