Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is a FREE GIFT to your children! All you have to do is read to your children. Please visit Dolly Parton's Imagination Library website for more information.
Every child will have books of their very own, at no cost to you, thanks to Governor Bredesen and the State of Tennessee, Gibson County Adult Literacy Council, other generous sponsors and Dolly Parton.
HOW IT WORKS:
Each month a new, carefully selected book will be mailed in your child's name directly to your home. He/She can look forward to new and exciting reading adventures from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library until he/she turns five years old as long as you remain a resident of Gibson County.
IF YOU HAVE A CHANGE OF RESIDENCE:
If you're moving within Tennessee, call toll free 1-877-99BOOKS or go to www.governorsfoundation.org to find your local Imagination Library sponsor.

2. Submit and official registration form, completely filled out by parent or guardian (form must be approved and on file with Gibson County Adult Literacy Council)
3. Notify Gibson County Adult Literacy Council any time your address changes. Books are mailed to the address listed on the officail registration form. If the child's address changes, you must follow the steps above regarding a change of residence.
