Dolly Parton, beloved singer, actor, humanitarian, and founder of Dolly’s Imagination Library!

The international organization has mailed more than 130 Million books since its inception back in 1995. Every year, the Blue-Ribbon Book Selection Committee, a specially selected panel of early childhood literacy experts, review hundreds of titles for inclusion in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Now mailing over a million books every month, Dolly’s continued efforts have made it our way!

Numerous studies estimate that as many as one in five children have difficulties learning to read.  Reading has been associated as an early indicator of academic success. Public formal education does not typically start until ages 5-6.  Before then, parents and caregivers are the first education providers during the 0-5 early critical years. The 1.000 books before kindergarten challenge is a simple (read a book, any book to your child, with the goal of reading 1,000 books before kindergarten) and very manageable endeavor. Our goal is to provide a simple, innovative yet fun approach to establishing strong early literacy skills.  We help young children gain the confidence necessary to become strong readers.
