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 five 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.

How does it work?

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. Each title is selected by a panel of early childhood literacy experts, who choose books to meet the age-specific developmental needs of young children.

How is it supported?

The Chester County Imagination Library is powered locally by Arts Holding Hands and Hearts (AHHAH) in partnership with the Justamere Foundation and the Kennett Library. Our goal through this program is to increase literacy levels for preschool age children living in Chester County, PA, to provide opportunities for positive family experiences and engagement, and to foster a love of reading in the greater Chester County community.
