Program Overview

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a free book-giving program for children ages 0-5.

Every month, a book is mailed from the Dolly Parton Foundation directly to the child at no cost to families. Book costs are covered by local sponsors, so the program is always completely free to the public.

Registration for Fergus County begins online and at the Library on September 10, 2022 during Chokecherry. This program is for children from Fergus County only. If the child you want to register lives outside the county, you cannot register them for this program. However, we are happy to help you find a different program or begin the process of bringing Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to the area where your child lives.

This program is hosted by the Friends of the Library and Lewistown Public Library.
