Dolly Parton Imagination Library

The Capitol Federal Foundation, The Hopkins Foundation, The Jones Foundation, The Trusler Foundation and The United Way of the Flint Hills presents The Dolly Parton Imagination Library!

 

What is the Dolly Parton Imagination Library?

It sounds too simple to be true, but by reading regularly with your children during their preschool years, you are giving them the biggest boost toward a successful education they will ever get.

Research has shown that children who have access to books and are read to are better prepared for kindergarten, have improved third grade reading test scores, and are more likely to graduate on time from high school. Together, we can give your child the opportunity they deserve for a successful life!

Each month, a new, carefully-selected book will be mailed directly to your home for your child, who can look forward to new and exciting reading adventures from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library until turning five-years-old as long as you remain a resident of Coffey, Lyon, Morris and Osage counties. Should your child move outside the service area, he/she automatically exits the program. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a FREE GIFT to our children thanks to the organizations listed above!
