IMAGINATION LIBRARY

WHAT IS THE IMAGINATION LIBRARY?

A FREE Book-A-Month Program for All Children Living in Hardin County from Birth to Age 5!

Imagination Library is an early childhood education initiative which provides FREE books to children from birth to age 5. Once enrolled, the child will receive a new, age-appropriate book mailed in your child's name directly to your home. They look forward to new and exciting reading adventures from United Way's Imagination Library until they turn 5 years old, as long as you remain a resident of Hardin County.

Originally started by Dolly Parton, the program's vision is to get children excited about books and reading to ensure that every child has books in their home regardless of family income.


IS THIS EFFECTIVE?

Countless studies document the relationship between early literacy and school performance.  By providing the children of our community with quality, age-appropriate books, we seek to:
  • increase a child's access to books.
  • encourage parents to read more often to their children.
  • support children in developing a love for reading.
  • better prepare children to begin school.

HOW DO WE REGISTER?

To register, we invite you to check out the Dollywood Foundation website. Our local United Way of Hardin County and Hardin County Family YMCA can also assist you and your family.

When you 
read regularly with your child, you are giving them a big boost toward a successful education!

United Way's Imagination Library is a 
FREE gift to registered children. All you have to do is read!
