Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting programme devoted to inspiring a love of reading in the hearts of children everywhere. We post a brand new, age appropriate book to children every month from birth to their 5th birthday.

We are raising money to support the growth of the Imagination Library programme across Dundee, which is delivered by local partners including libraries across the Lochee Ward, Stobswell Forum and CLD in Whitfield. Leisure and Culture Dundee are supporting the Dundee Imagination Library steering group to sustain and grow the programme city wide so that all children can benefit from receiving the monthly book arrivals.

Whilst The Dollywood Foundation UK covers the overheads and infrastructure associated with running the programme our local partners fund the books and postage, which costs on average £2.16 per book per child.

We want to raise the money to gift 1000 more books to children in Dundee. The Dundee Imagination Library are walking the Dundee Kiltwalk this August. Please sponsor us so we can gift local Dundee children the joy of books and a lifelong love of reading.

As Dolly Parton says "You can never get enough books, into the hands of enough children!"
