National Reading Month is the perfect time to refresh your reading routine.

Try one small shift this week:

Pulaski County Imagination Library

In 1995, Dolly Parton launched an exciting new effort to benefit the children of her home county in east Tennessee--Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Dolly wanted to foster a love of reading among her county’s preschool children and their families by giving each child one free, age-appropriate book per month from birth until they start school. Now, towns and cities across the world operating as affiliates of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, provide free books to children in their local communities.

Launched in 2013, the Pulaski County Imagination Library has provided over 68,000 books to children in Pulaski County, Kentucky, supporting early literacy and inspiring the love of reading in our youngest citizens.
