Get On Board Dolly Parton's Imagination Library!

WHAT IS DOLLY PARTON'S IMAGINATION LIBRARY?
The State of Tennessee and Governor Bredesen are teaming up with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program so that all preschoolers in Tennessee can have their own Imagination Library. Just think, a book mailed to your children each month until their fifth birthday, absolutely free! Every child will have books of their very own, at no cost to you, thanks to Governor Bredesen and the State of Tennessee, Putnam County Library, other generous sponsors and Dolly Parton.

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 reading adventures from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library until he/she turns five years old as long as you remain a resident of Putnam County. Should the child move outside Putnam County, he/she automatically exits the program. If you're moving within Tennessee, call toll free ((877) 99-BOOKS or go to www.governorsfoundation.org to see if the Imagination Library is avilable in your new community.
