"Poverty doesn't have to be a generational story, which it often is. When we put books in the hands of children, we give them the tools to write a different story. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library is how Miami County invests in its youngest readers — and its strongest future."

Thank you, William Lutz, for supporting this program in Miami County and sharing your time and knowledge as a member of our steering committee. Your willingness to go above and beyond to encourage community support of the Imagination Library is so appreciated! Together, we’re helping children and families discover the joy of reading.📬📚

📚🌳Road trip break? Make it a storytime stop! A quick stop at many state parks and rest areas across Ohio is a chance to stretch your legs and enjoy an Imagination Library story together. Have you been to a Storybook Trail?

📸 Our Miami County rest area on Interstate 75 and two Imagination Library in Miami County graduates!

Storybook Trails feature pages from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library books displayed along short walking paths with child-height panels, encouraging literacy, movement, and outdoor exploration all at once.
