Edgar county imagination library

It all began five years ago.  In June of 2002, the early childhood literacy program known as Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Edgar County was launched, and a beloved storybook entitled, ‘The Little Engine That Could,” was mailed to 179 Edgar County preschool children.   This would be the first book of many provided to our community’s children at no cost to the families.  Since that first mailing, enrollment in the program has risen considerably, and now over 500 Edgar County children receive a free, hard-cover, age-appropriate book in the mail each and every month until the child turns 5 years of age.  To date, over 31,000 books have been ordered for Edgar County children.  That’s a lot of reading!

 On-line enrollment is now available.  Children can be registered quickly and easily through the Dollywood Foundation website at www.dollysimaginationlibrary.com.  Altrusa International, Inc. of Paris and HRC continue to administer the program in partnership with The Dollywood Foundation.  Major funding is provided by The United Way of Edgar County.  Additional financial support comes from individuals, businesses, and organizations.  The donors for this year are listed below:
