If you have a child Birth-5 in your home, we encourage you to enroll in this free book program through United Way Rock River Valley. Link below.

Dolly’s legacy of putting books into the hands of children will continue. 💙 Dolly Parton's Imagination Library was built to endure, and families can be assured that the program will continue. United Way Rock River Valley remains committed to bringing Dolly’s books to children throughout Winnebago County, just as we have before.

We mourn the loss of an extraordinary champion for early literacy, but we can think of no better way to honor Dolly than to continue the work she started: helping children discover a lifelong love of reading. The books will keep coming. And Dolly’s legacy will keep growing, one child at a time.
