“The Imagination Library has been such a gift to our family! My girls get so excited whenever we receive a new book in the mail and want to read it right away. I love how it has encouraged a desire for learning, along with a love for books.”
— Rebekah, mother of Eliana and Ruby
Opening doors to literacy and learning for young children in Washington, one book at a time.
Imagination Library of Washington's mission is to foster a love of reading among young learners by ensuring equitable access to free monthly books mailed directly to their homes from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.
All early learners have developed a quality, inclusive home library, are inspired to read, ready to learn, and are excelling academically, creating a thriving child and a vibrant, healthy community.
Reading begins at birth and the benefits of a home library go far beyond the books. Parents and guardians are a child’s first and best teacher. By providing books every month at no cost to families, the Imagination Library increases childhood literacy rates, fosters a love of books, and promotes a culture of reading among all families in Washington. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library: loved by families, validated by research.
It only costs $31 to give a child the gift of Imagination Library books for an entire year. Your generosity will ensure Washington's littlest learners enter kindergarten ready to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
Getting books to Washington's early learners through Imagination Library of Washington would not be possible without support from generous state champions, supporters, and partners.
