Crete Public Library is a Proud Community Partner of the Imagination Library of Will County

What is the Imagination Library?

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting FREE books to children from birth to age five. The program is made possible through funding shared by Dolly Parton herself, and local Program Partners.

Inspired by her father’s inability to read and write, Dolly started the Imagination Library in 1995 to serve the children of her hometown in Tennessee. Today, her program spans five countries and gifts over 3 million free books each month to children around the world.

How It Works

  • Children in the program receive one free, high-quality, age-appropriate book each month.
  • Each book is personalized with the child’s name.
  • Books are mailed directly to the child’s home, creating a special gifting experience.

Qualifications:

  • Must reside in Will County.
  • Children must be ages newborn to five years old.
