MONROE COUNTY PARENTS‼️

Did you know your child can receive a FREE book in the mail every single month thanks to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library?

This amazing program was started right here in East Tennessee by Dolly Parton in 1995, with one simple goal: to help children fall in love with reading from an early age.

Many do not realize what this program or what it offers.

⚫️ A completely FREE book gifting program
⚫️ Open to all children from birth to age 5
⚫️ Each child receives a high-quality, age-appropriate book every month
⚫️ Books are mailed directly to your home with your child’s name on them.

By the time your child starts kindergarten, they could have a library of 60 books of their very own!

Early reading makes a HUGE difference. Children who are introduced to books early are more likely to succeed in school and beyond.

This program helps:
✔️ Build early literacy skills
✔️ Encourage a love of reading
✔️ Create special moments between parents and children


Signing up is quick and easy:
👉 Visit: imaginationlibrary.com or scan the QR code below
👉 Enter in your information.
👉 Register your child

If you are uncomfortable using your personal address reach out to a local church. Often times they will allow you to use their address and pick up your books monthly.

Books are offered in English and Spanish!

If you have a child under 5, this is one of the easiest and most meaningful things you can do for their future.

Free books. Every month. Absolutely no catch.
