Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

 Sign your child up today!

It sounds almost too simple to be true, but by reading regularly with your children during their  preschool years, you are giving them one of the biggest boosts toward a successful education they will ever get.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library will help you read with your child. There are many reasons parents do not read to their child, but we can eliminate one of them. Every child will have books of their very own, at no cost to you, thanks to First 5 Amador, The Resource Connection and Dolly Parton.

Each month a new, carefully selected book will be mailed in your child’s name directly to your home. He/she can look forward to new and exciting reading adventures from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library until he/she turns five years old as long as you remain a resident of Amador County. Should the child move outside Amador County, he/she automatically exits the program.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a FREE GIFT to our children! All you have to do is read to your child.

Who Is Eligible?
Children ages 0-4 (birth until their fifth birthday) in Amador County.

What Are My Responsibilities?
1. Be a resident of Amador County.
2. Submit an official registration form, completely filled out by parent or guardian (form must be
approved and on file with First 5 Amador).
3. Notify First 5 Amador any time your address changes. Books are mailed to the address listed
on the official registration form. If the child’s address changes, you must contact your friends at First 5 Amador in order to continue receiving books.
4. Read with your child.

When Will I Receive Books?
Eight to ten weeks after your registration form has been received, books will begin arriving at your home and will continue until your child turns five or you move out of Amador County.

How Can I Help?
Do you know a child (age 0-4) in Amador County who is not receiving Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library? Give their parents a brochure/registration form and encourage them to fill it out and mail it to the address below. Telling them about this FREE program can make a huge difference in their future and the future of our community.
