Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Update

The Dollywood Foundation is excited to announce a new 100% Bilingual English/Spanish Imagination Library Book Collection in North Carolina.


The new option includes 100% Bilingual English/Spanish books from when the child enters the program until they graduate at age five. In addition, those families selecting this option can also select which language they would prefer communication to arrive in. Existing registrants may also switch over to one of these options if they wish.
