Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Launches in Larimer County

We know that reading begins at birth,and the benefits of a home library go far beyond the simple act of reading. That’s why Poudre Libraries is excited to support the United Way of Larimer County (UWLC) as they launch Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Larimer County.

The Imagination Library is a FREE early literacy program available to children, aged zero to five. Each child will receive age-appropriate books each month through age five. The books are hand-selected by a panel of early literacy professionals as a program of The Dollywood Foundation and include bilingual titles.

More details on the Larimer County Imagination Library program and online enrollment is available at www.uwaylc.org/ImaginationLibrary.

How the Program Works

Families residing in Larimer County can enroll their children at birth, or any time after birth through age 5, through United Way of Larimer County or onsite at any of the Poudre Library locations. The Library is an enrollment partner for Imagination Library of Larimer County along with other local public libraries and organizations.

• Books are specially selected, ageappropriate, high-quality titles.
