Have you heard? … Can you believe? … These books are free!
Numerous studies have proven that young children who are exposed to reading are much more likely to choose books over television, tablets, video games and other forms of entertainment. It is easily seen in schools that reading to young children, beginning from infancy, will prepare a solid foundation for future academic excellence.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library provides an age-appropriate book, sent directly to young children’s homes, beginning from birth to the age of five. A young child could easily receive sixty free books before beginning kindergarten.
In Carter County, the Imagination Library mails over 24,000 books per year to families in the community.
