Imagination Library

Over 350 children currently receive books. Help us support 1 of these children with your online contributions. United Way of McLeod County is committed to supporting learning and development and a sense of belonging for children so that they become responsible and contributing adults. We want to ensure children have positive developmental opportunities so that they can start school ready to succeed. We want to grow success in learning and in life. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library provides one book each month to children born 2009 onwards in McLeod County whose parents/guardian register to receive them. These sturdy, colorful, age appropriate books are delivered directly to the child. Each book is selected for the developmental benefits it brings - and for the fun. There is no cost to the family. In addition to the Dollywood Foundation, we are partnering with local area businesses, individual givers, Public Health, local hospitals, Public Library, the United States Postal Service, and a growing list of organizations and agencies throughout Olmsted County to register kids into the program. Any child born in 2009 onwards and is a resident of McLeod County is eligible to receive books.
