Imagination Library

GOODNIGHT WITH DOLLY

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library puts books into the hands and hearts of children around the world. Imagination Library books are specially selected age-appropriate, high-quality titles. These books are delivered to registered children each month from birth to age five. Each one is personalized with the child’s name and mailed directly to the child’s home.

The first book a child receives is “The Little Engine That Could™” (customized version).

The month a child turns five years old, they will receive “Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come!” (customized version).

The Workshop offers participants an opportunity to hone their craft and build a tightly woven network of peers across the Appalachian region.

“When a person writes a story, that story does not belong to us anymore. The joy I felt from receiving stories from people like myself all over Appalachia and being able to give my own story was nothing short of uplifting, empowering, and transformational.

With the Pandemic that has swept through our country—and the world, you cannot begin to imagine how badly I needed that week of clarity, camaraderie, and motivation. I left the Writers’ Workshop feeling rejuvenated not only as a writer, but as a mom, a teacher, and a member of a community that is waiting for its stories to be told. “
