Imagination Library of Hancock County

The Imagination Library is an early childhood literacy program launched by the Dollywood Foundation in 1995 thanks to the vision and generosity of singer and performer Dolly Parton. It provides a new, high-quality, age-appropriate book to the enrollee every month. Books are delivered to the home and in the child’s name.

About The Program

In Hancock County, this program is made possible through the generosity of our caring community who, since 2015, has contributed to an endowment that now exceeds $2 million. The Imagination Library Endowment Fund provides sustainable financial support for program-related costs for over 2,500 children. As a result, books are free to families living in Hancock County with children ages birth to five years old. The Community Foundation of Hancock County and the Hancock County Public Library partner to administer this impactful, county-wide effort
