IMAGINATION LIBRARY

In 1995, Dolly Parton launched an exciting new effort, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Dolly's vision was to foster a love of reading among her county’s preschool children and their families by providing them with the gift of a specially selected book each month. By mailing high quality, age-appropriate books directly to their homes, she wanted children to be excited about books and to feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, she could insure that every child would have books, regardless of their family’s income.

In 2013, our local Imagination Library was established.  This Program provides one, age-appropriate book per month to every child in Wexford and Missaukee County from birth to age five at no charge.   Program funding is still by the community, and there is a fund housed at the Cadillac Area Community Foundation that accepts donations to insure the continuation of this program in Wexford and Missaukee Counties.
