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.
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.

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.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is a FREE GIFT to your children! All you have to
do is read to your children.
