Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Of Dickinson County
Arnolds Park Library Foundation & Okoboji Foundation is pleased to announce that all Dickinson County children under the age of 5 are eligible to register for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Children who register will receive a book in the mail every month.
Imagination Library provides children with a free new book every month through their fifth birthday. Dolly Parton started Imagination Library in 1995, to fight illiteracy in her eastern Tennessee community. Research shows that disadvantaged children come to school years behind their peers in pre-reading skills, and rarely catch up. Evaluations indicate that Imagination Library is getting kids more interested in reading and getting their parents more comfortable reading to their children. Children are mailed an age-appropriate book directly to their homes to build their own private library.
Who is Eligible to Participate?
All children under the age of 5 who reside in Dickinson County, Iowa are eligible to participate.

When Will I Begin Receiving Books?
