Since launching in 1995, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library has become the premier early childhood book gifting program in the world by mailing over 200 million books in Australia, Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom and the United States. Currently, the program mails over 2.2 Million specially selected, age-appropriate books monthly to registered children from birth to age five.
