The library shares in the grief of Dolly Parton. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting free books to children from birth to age five. The program is made possible through funding shared by Dolly Parton and local program partners in the United States, Canada, UK, Australia, and the Republic of Ireland.
Dolly believed that if you can read, you can do anything, dream anything, and be anything!
The Crestline Public Library will help register any child ages 0-5, to enjoy the free books Dolly’s nonprofit will provide.
