Every child deserves books of their own. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library makes that easy and free. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library provides children with up to 60 high quality, age-appropriate books beginning with the children’s classic The Little Engine That Could. Each month a new, carefully selected book will be mailed in the child’s name directly to their home. This is a free program supported by local champions, including United Way of Kaw Valley. Local champions raise funds to cover program costs that are not covered by the Imagination Library.
