Reading Programs

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (DPIL) is a book gifting program that mails books to children from birth to age five. Each month, the Imagination Library mails a high quality, age appropriate book to all registered children, addressed to them, at no cost to the child’s family. See this year's book list.

DPIL is supported by local program partner Westminster Rotary Club.

How to participate:

• Enroll your child online, or in person in the Children's Room at College Hill or Irving Street.
• In 6-8 weeks your child will receive their first book.
• Each month your child will receive a new book until age 5.
• When your child turns 5, they will receive their final book and graduate for the program.
