Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library recently came to our community! If you’re not familiar with this, it is basically a program that provides each child in your family a free book (mailed to your home) each month until their 5th birthday. However, your community must be enrolled in the program. To find out if you are eligible, start by going here. You might also check with your local library or school district.
What a wonderful way to instill a love of books in our children! Way to go, Dolly! :)
*Because my children are both boys, they get the same book each month. However, I think girls get different books each month.
I love this program!! My 7 year old was enrolled from birth and got books for 5 years and my 1 one year old is also enrolled. I think it’s wonderful, it’s so much fun for the kids and the books are really nice.
I love DPIL!! I wrote a post about it last month: http://carrieroer.blogspot.com/2011/07/book-talk-thursday-imagination-library.html . It’s such a great program! I have friends who don’t live close enough, and they’re jealous that I get books in the mail!
What a super program! It isn’t available where I live. They are changing lives every month with each book.
That is such an awesome program! I wish they had it in my area. I’d totally sign my son up for it.
We get them too! Are you all in Tennessee? I thought it was only in Tennessee?!?!
My daughter and son get different books every month (other than the very first one.) It’s wonderful! It’s always exciting to get mail . . . but a book makes it so much better! :)
We love our Dolly books! It’s such a treat for my little guy when they are in the mailbox. Also, just a thought on your duplicate books, if you signed up both kids at the same time, they would duplicate. They don’t usually duplicate as much if you have a time-lapse between kids/applications.
If your children have different birthdates (as in, they aren’t twins), they shouldn’t be getting the same books. At least, that is how it’s supposed to work. The books are age-appropriate, therefore if they are different ages they should receive different books. :)
How cool is that! I love the Llama Llama books! :)
we have been doing this for awhile, too! it’s awesome.
Wow! I’m in a participating area – I just signed up! I’m really excited to get books in the mail for my boys.
Yay! Congrats!
