Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Ohio mails kids one free book each month until their fifth birthday. Any child in Ohio between birth and age five is eligible for the program, which is available at no cost to families and overseen in Miami County by the Troy library.

Children taking part in Imagination Library from birth, will graduate from the program with a set of 60 books! Better yet, the time spend reading those books together will build the early literacy skills children need to succeed.

Spread the Word!

A child who can’t read well is four times more likely to drop out of high school before graduation. Reading aloud to a child and giving them access to books is the best way to ensure they are prepared to enter kindergarten.
