United Way of Bradley County
What is Dolly Parton's
Imagination Library?
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is FREE.
It sounds almost too good to be true, but by reading
regularly with your children during their preschool
years, you are giving them the biggest boost toward
a successful education they will ever get.
Each month a new, carefully selected book will be mailed in your child's name
directly to your home. He/she can look forward to new and exciting adventures
from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library until he/she turns five years old as long
as you remain a resident of Bradley County. Should the child move outside
Bradley County, he/she automatically exits the program. If you are moving
within Tennessee, call toll free (877) 99-BOOKS or go to
www.governorsfoundation.org to see how to sign up for the Imagination Library
in that area. All 95 Tennessee counties have Imagination Library programs.
If you change addresses within Bradley County, please let United Way of
Bradley County know so we can get that information to the Imagination Library
representatives and book delivery will not be delayed. To change your
address, please fill out the change of address form to the left of this page.
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is a FREE GIFT to your children! All you
have to do is read to your children.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library will help you read to your child. There are
many reasons parents do not read to their child, but we can eliminate one of
them. Every child will have books of their very own, at no cost to you, thanks
to Governor Bredesen and the State of Tennessee, United Way of Bradley
County, other generous sponsors and Dolly Parton and her Dollywood
Foundation.
