We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Macon County in Western North Carolina. We are dedicated to increasing literacy among preschool-age children by making books easily accessible to every family. Our mission is simple: to inspire a lifelong love of reading in every child.
Our organization comprises retired educators, interested community members, and those who value literacy, vocabulary and comprehension.
The more we encourage kids to read—and build their vocabulary and comprehension—the better prepared they are for a successful future. With the high expectations placed on children entering Kindergarten, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library helps us close the gap and give every child a strong start. Early literacy sets kids up to become confident readers and do well in school. And when literacy grows, our whole community grows stronger too.
Build public awareness and community support for early literacy.
Get books into children’s hands at an early age.
Educate and empower parents to raise confident readers.
