Supporting Literacy in Palm Beach County

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is an award-winning book gifting program for children under age five. The Imagination Library has gifted over 300 million books since 1995, to children in five countries! The program mails each child enrolled a high-quality book each month, at no cost to the family, from birth through their fifth birthday.

The Imagination Library is a partnership between the Dollywood Foundation and local community partners like 501c3 nonprofit organization, the PBC Imagination Library. Your participation in the run and walk will provide Imagination Library books for children in Palm Beach County! Thank you for supporting literacy and spreading the joy of reading in our community!
