INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Every child under five in Indiana is now eligible to receive free monthly books through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.

Indiana First Lady Maureen Braun made the announcement Wednesday. The program will be available in all of the state's 92 counties. Children can receive monthly, age-appropriate books.

“Receiving books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library fosters a love of reading and creates meaningful family memories to last a lifetime," says First Lady Braun. "Early childhood literacy has a profound impact on Hoosier kids as they grow, and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Indiana is helping to build strong foundations for young Hoosiers.”

The program is made possible through a partnership between the Dollywood Foundation, the state of Indiana, the Hoosier HOPE Foundation, and dedicated local program partners.
