Dear Friends and Neighbors ...
Growing up in the Smoky Mountains was a real blessing. There were some tough times, but most of our life was full of the kind of riches money can never buy. One of my most precious memories is sitting in my mother's lap and listening to her read me stories from the Bible. It felt so warm and cosy. My imagination soared to places far beyond our little cabin.
Those wonderful moments with my mother inspired me to create my Imagination Library. Thanks to Anson County Partnership for Children, all of the preschoolers in your community can now have their own Imagination Library. Just think, a book mailed to your child each month until their 5th birthday!
I hope these books inspire you to read to your child. There is nothing quite like the sparkle in a child's eye when animals come alive and clowns dance on the page.
I hope you'll encourage your children to keep dreaming and to dream big. If my Imagination Library helps turn the dreams of a child into the promise of a bright future, then one of my biggest dreams will come true.
And remember ...
I will always love you,
Dolly |

What is Dolly Parton's Imagination Library?
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is ... FREE!
It sounds almost too simple to be true, but by reading regularly with your child during their preschool years, you are giving them the biggest 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 child, but we can eliminate one of them. Every child will have books of their very own, at no cost to you, thanks to Anson County Partnership for Children and Dolly Parton.
Each month a new, carefully selected book will be mailed in your child's name directly to your home. He/she can look forward to new and exciting reading adventures from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library until he/she turns five years old as long as you remain a resident of Anson County. Should the child move outside Anson County, he/she automatically exits the program.
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is a FREE GIFT to our children! All you have to do is read to your children.
