Help to give children in our community the gift of reading next year by making a donation to the Pulaski County chapter of the Imagination Library!

Come and take an ornament off of our tree! That's right—this year, we want to celebrate by taking the decorations down. Here's how it works:

  • Take one of the ornaments off of the tree at any library location containing a QR code for the Pulaski County chapter of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.
  • Make a donation to sponsor free books for a child in our community! $30 sponsors one child for a year, and $15 sponsors a child for six months.
  • Show your donation receipt to a staff member at any library location to receive a commemorative ornament designed by one of our staff members for you to keep. The first 25 people will receive a special wooden ornament!

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library (DPIL) was founded in 1995 in east Tennessee. Inspired by her father’s inability to read and write, Dolly started the Imagination Library for the children in her home county. Today, the program spans four countries and mails over one million free books each month to children around the world.
