Dolly Parton Imagination Library

Enroll Your Child Today!

The Dolly Parton Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free high-quality books to children from birth until they begin school regardless of their family’s income. You can register your child to receive these free books at birth and we will do the rest. Each month the Imagination Library will send your child a new age-appropriate book. If you sign your child up at birth, they will be able to receive 60 free books by their 5^th birthday! This is a free program for children enrolled in Bedford County and the very first book your child will receive is the Little Engine That Could. Have questions? Please call us: 814-624-0041
