DOLLY PARTON IMAGINATION LIBRARY
IMPACT Learning Center is proud to help bring Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to Jackson County, supporting early literacy and a lifelong love of reading for our youngest learners. Inspired by Dolly Parton’s own childhood and her father’s inability to read or write, the Imagination Library was created to ensure children have access to books during the most critical years of development. Through this program, children from birth to age five receive high-quality, age-appropriate books delivered directly to their homes each month—free of charge—thanks to the shared support of Dolly Parton and local community partners. Since launching in East Tennessee in 1995, the program has grown to serve children across five countries, proving that when communities invest early in literacy, the impact can last a lifetime. IMPACT is honored to partner in this effort and help plant the seeds of learning, imagination, and opportunity for children and families throughout Jackson County.
