Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library now available in every Kentucky community

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is now available in every part of Kentucky.

Gov. Andy Beshear, along with first lady Britainy Beshear and Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman, celebrated the statewide expansion Wednesday.

The library mails a free, age-appropriate book to children each month from birth to age 5, which officials say has had a significant impact on Kindergarten readiness.

“As governor, and as a dad, I’m proud that Team Kentucky has come together to reach this historic milestone for our kids,” Beshear said. “I hope parents and guardians across the Commonwealth will sign their kids up for the Imagination Library today. Thank you to Dolly Parton and every local partner for your investment in Kentucky’s children.”

According to the governor’s office, state funding matches every dollar raised by local partners. When combined with support from the Dollywood Foundation, local partners can put high-quality books in the hands of a Kentucky child for just over $1 for each child each month.
