Imagine the joy of seeing your little one’s face light up every month when a new book arrives just for them! Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library makes this possible by sending free books to children from birth to age five, fostering a love for reading and setting them up for a lifetime of learning.
As parents, we know how important it is to have quality books at home, but it’s not always easy to grow a collection. That’s why this program is such a treasure. It’s completely free, no strings attached—just a simple way to nurture your child’s imagination and help build their reading skills.
Each book is age-appropriate and carefully selected, from timeless classics to new favorites. You’ll find stories that spark curiosity, strengthen family bonds, and create the sweetest bedtime traditions. Click HERE to view the 2025 Imagination Library Book List.
Signing up is easy! In 2024, the Imagination Library Program launched statewide in Missouri, allowing all children across the state to register for free books! Visit the Dolly Parton Imagination Library website to register your child, and before you know it, their first book will be on its way!
If you’re already part of the program, share the love by telling other Missouri parents and caregivers about it. Watching our kids discover the magic of reading is one of the best gifts we can give them—and with Dolly’s help, it’s a gift that keeps on giving.
