Sacramento County children from birth to age 5 now can receive one free book in the mail each month, regardless of family income, through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which launched in Sacramento today through a partnership between United Way California Capital Region, Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) and The Dollywood Foundation.
United Way California Capital Region also manages Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Yolo County, which today presented its 100,000th book to a participating family.
“When we invest in a child’s imagination, we invest in their future,” said Dr. Dawnté Early, president and CEO, United Way California Capital Region. “Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is more than books. This program is about opening doors, sparking dreams and imagination, and making sure every child – no matter their zip code – has access to books from an early age.”
