The Imagination Library

When parents read to their young children, children develop a love of books that later builds strong reading skills.

About The Dolly Parton Imagination Library

THE DOLLY PARTON IMAGINATION LIBRARY is an early literacy initiative that provides new, age-appropriate books each month to children birth to age five in the Wyoming Valley — FREE of charge and regardless of household income.

THE IMAGINATION LIBRARY IS IMPORTANT because birth to age five are the most crucial learning years and early investment in a child can improve brain development and school readiness. That’s why UNITED WAY OF WYOMING VALLEY sponsors the IMAGINATION LIBRARY.

90%

of a child’s brain is fully developed by age 5
