REAL STORIES

"Thank You for this opportunity. You guys have supported me in raising my kids in ways you do not know. I think books are the beginning on wonderful minds. And I think starting at a young age is setting them up to a good start in life by learning to express, speak and imagine. Thank You for the opportunity never in the world I thought I would have!"
DPIL Parent
"We are a house of big readers, but I do think this program has helped to further spark my son's interest in selecting and reading on his own. When the books come in the mail, he initiates reading time, rather than having a parent ask him to read all the time. I've also found that even when the books aren't in the mail, it reminds him about reading and we end up reading together anyway. Great program! Thank you! "
DPIL Parent
"We LOVE Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. It was developed a deep love for reading and the girls get so excited when they receive the books. It’s like Christmas all year round! Thank you!"
