📚 Important Update on New Registrations 📚

We’ve had several parents reach out about children showing a pending status after registering for our local Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program, and I want to share a quick update.

Over the past several months, new registrations were temporarily paused due to increased program costs and a decrease in available donations. This pause was necessary to ensure we could continue paying monthly book invoices for the children already enrolled and receiving books.

The good news: as children age out of the program, we expect to begin approving pending registrations soon. If your child is currently pending, nothing is wrong with your application—you will receive an email notification as soon as approval occurs.

This program is 100% funded through local support. If you believe in early literacy and want to help us expand access for more children in our community, donations of any size truly make a difference. I will post the secure link to donate through the CREATE Foundation in the comments!

Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your continued support of our youngest readers. 💛🐝
Sincerely,
Brittany Clark 🩷
