An Update on Dolly Parton's Imagination Library
We’re so saddened by the passing of Dolly Parton, and we want to reassure families that there will be no interruption in their child’s book distribution. The Dollywood Foundation and Madison Reading Project are working to carry Dolly's dream forward for the next generation of readers and dreamers.
Due to the outpouring of support after Dolly’s passing, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library website is currently experiencing extremely high volume, which is causing some pages to not load properly. The Dollywood Foundation is working to add additional server bandwidth, and we appreciate your patience as we work to get things running more smoothly.
If you have a new registration, an edit to a current registration, or any questions, please email that information to imaginationlibrary@madisonreadingproject.com with the child’s name and birthdate included in the email. I will make the additions and edits when the registration system is back up and running.
We are so grateful to be part of Dolly’s legacy and will continue carrying her love of books forward

THE NEED
.jpg)
These are the facts.
2/3 of children from
low income households have no books at home, yet books in the home are the single biggest indicator of academic
success.
Children should feel seen.
We believe wholeheartedly in the importance of children having access to books that reflect their unique identities and open their eyes to other people's lived experiences.
​
It takes a community!
We connect families, educators and our community with free books and literacy resources that ignite a love for reading and affirm and reflect the diversity of young readers.
