Legendary musician and philanthropist Dolly Parton visits Washington to celebrate achieving statewide coverage of the Imagination Library. All Washington children from birth to age 5 can register to receive one book every month, for free, from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
August 15 is signified by a proclamation from Governor Jay Inslee and Lieutenant Governor Denny Heck as “Imagination Library of Washington Day.”
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Washington was established in June 2022 by legislative direction, sponsored through a partnership with the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and the Department of Children, Youth, & Families (DCYF), and administered by United Ways of the Pacific Northwest.
