Congratulations to one of our partner agencies on their 4th Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!

We became an offical 501(c)(3) on this day in 2022!

We started with an idea and took it on the road: bring hands-on play and discovery to children across Southwest Kansas. Now, alongside our roaming museum, we’re building a permanent place for that curiosity to grow.

Help us celebrate by looking back at our beginnings—and ahead at what’s next—in our latest blog,

Today is a sad day. We've had our Dolly Parton's Imagination Library since 2019. Each month, over 1,000 kids (under 5) in Finney County get free books mailed to their homes. Rest in peace, Dolly. We will always love you!
