Building a stronger Chester county community, one book at a time.
Exciting news for parents and preschool children in the Chester County area! Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is now available to all children living in Chester County! Children from birth to age 5 who live in Chester County can now be enrolled in the Chester County Imagination Library program to receive a FREE BOOK in the mail once a month.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library works with local affiliates to mail free, high-quality books to preschool children once a month, no matter their family’s income.
