News from the North Lake County Public Library District
POLSON — Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is available to all children ages birth to age five in Lake County.
The North Lake County Public Library kicked-off with a casual first day of registration on Wednesday, May 31, at the library (301 16th Ave. E) with goody bags, cookies and drinks. A more formal Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library launch party will take place on June 21 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Many organizations from throughout Lake County will be present to host a fun-filled launch party. There will be giveaways, activities and snacks. Join the party at 301 16th Ave. E (our temporary location in the First United Methodist Church).
You can also register your child anytime online at: www.imaginationlibrary.com or stop in and see us on a different day and we will register your child so they may receive a new book each month, delivered right to their home.
This project was initiated in Montana by First Lady Susan Gianforte and sponsored by the Treasure State Foundation in partnership with The Dollywood Foundation. With the help of the Friends of the North Lake County Public Library, the North Lake County Public Library District is the affiliate for all children in Lake County (except Arlee, which has its own program).
About Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
Since launching in 1995, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has become the preeminent early childhood book-gifting program in the world. The flagship program of The Dollywood Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has gifted over 200 million free books in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and The Republic of Ireland. This is achieved through funding shared by The Dollywood Foundation and Local Program Partners. The Imagination Library mails more than 2 million high-quality, age-appropriate books each month to enrolled children from birth to age five. Dolly envisioned creating a lifelong love of reading and inspiring children to “Dream More, Learn More, Care More and Be More.”
The program has been widely researched and results demonstrate its positive impact on early childhood development and literacy skills. Penguin Random House is the exclusive publisher for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. For more information, please visit: imaginationlibrary.com.
