This is what it looks like to

Right here in Brown County, 1,753 children receive a free book every month through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

Behind every book is a community of people who believe in the power of giving - our donors, volunteers and supporters who help make this program possible.

Today, Give Like Dolly Day, you can help us reach even more children and families in Brown County. Every gift helps us continue building a community where children can grow up surrounded by the joy of books and reading.

Help us make an even bigger impact for the children of Brown County. Donations can be made through Venmo or can be mailed to BCIEE at PO Box 21103 Georgetown OH 45121.
