Imagination Library
In 2018, the Library's commitment to fostering young minds took a significant step forward by launching a local affiliate of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for children throughout Pulaski County. The program mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, no matter their family’s income.
Imagination Library relies on a local affiliate, the Pulaski County Public Library Foundation, to serve as its 501(c)(3) partner. Although the program is offered at no cost to families, there is a local requirement to secure funding for books and cover shipping fees, making donations crucial to sustaining this impactful initiative. Donations to the Pulaski County Public Library Foundation support our local Imagination Library program.
