Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
Imagination Library is Coming to Will County!
The program provides free books every month to children from birth through age 5.
Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant and the Will County Economic Development Foundation (part of the Center for Economic Development) have partnered together to launch the Imagination Library of Will County. Once fully launched, this program will be available to over 39,000 children throughout the county!
A fundraising goal of $150,000 has been established to bring Imagination Library to Will County! This will fund two years of the program, and will give the gift of literacy to thousands of local children.
No gift is too small! Donate today or sponsor a child: A gift of $16 will sponsor 12 months of free books for one child!
Donate Now
Help give the gift of literacy to children throughout Will County! Consider donating online and setting up a recurring donation to sponsor 12 months of free books at the following levels:
$16
supports one child
$80
supports five children
$160
supports ten children
$320

The Dollywood Foundation requires that a program begin enrollment after raising funds to support two years of operations. By helping us reach our fundraising goal of $150,000, you’re supporting two years of free books for Will County children! This would mail 190,000 books annually to nearly 16,000 kids throughout Will County.
