Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting programme devoted to inspiring a love of reading in the hearts of children everywhere. The scheme began in 1995 in Dolly’s home county in Tennessee, then launched in the UK by Dolly during her visit in 2007.
The books are gifted through funding shared by Dolly and local community partners. In the Wakefield district, this scheme is delivered in partnership between Spectrum Community Health CIC and Wakefield Council. We are proud to support this fantastic initiative.
All books in the Imagination Library are high quality and age appropriate. They are carefully selected by a panel of experts in early childhood literacy and reading.
Books are sent free in the post every month, personally addressed to your child, until their 5th birthday.
Visit the Dolly Parton Imagination Library website to find out more information about the scheme.
