Welcome to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Program in Fresno County,

where we are inspiring a lifelong love of reading in our youngest residents. Founded by the iconic country singer Dolly Parton in 1995, this transformative initiative provides free, age-appropriate books to children from birth to age five, regardless of their family’s income. By nurturing a passion for reading, we are preparing these children for a bright future.

Learn how to enroll your child, become a community sponsor, and join us in our mission to enhance childhood literacy.

Together, we are building a stronger Fresno County, one book at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can enroll your child online once registration is open. Please check back soon for the registration link!

Yes! When you register your child, you will have the option to choose bilingual books in Spanish. California is the only state in the US to offer books in Spanish. At this time, there are no other languages available.

Book orders are placed on the first day of the month AFTER your completed registration form is entered into the database and approved. Once the order is placed, your child’s first book should arrive within 7-9 weeks. For example: If we receive your registration on June 15, you’ll be included in the July 1 book order. Your book will arrive by the last week of August. After that, the books will arrive approximately every 30 days, unless your address changes or your child ages out of the program.

You don’t have to create an account for your child to receive books, but you can manage your child’s participation in the program online. You’ll be able to make address updates and see when books were mailed, as well as which titles.

Books may arrive at different times of the month. After each child has received the first book, subsequent books should arrive by the last day of the month—but not necessarily on the same day.

No. You and your child’s information will never be shared with advertisers. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library takes information security very seriously. We will not share it or use it for any purpose other than to communicate with you about the Imagination Library.
