INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indiana first lady Maureen Braun announced Wednesday that Dolly Parton’s imagination library is now available in all 92 Indiana counties.
Braun says that every child under the age of five in Indiana is now eligible to receive a free book each month through the imagination library.
“Receiving books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library fosters a love of reading and creates meaningful family memories to last a lifetime. Early childhood literacy has a profound impact on Hoosier kids as they grow, and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Indiana is helping to build strong foundations for young Hoosiers,” said Braun in a Thursday release.
The program mails age-appropriate books directly to families at not cost to them, hoping to build a love a reading early in life.
State leaders say the expansion will help strengthen literacy and support young learners across Indiana.
