Imagination Library

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library mails books to children every month, from birth through their fifth birthday, at no cost to families. The Imagination Library program was developed based on numerous studies demonstrating that children with access to books in their homes develop early literacy skills, contributing to school readiness and success throughout life. All of Oklahoma’s kids deserve access to high-quality and age-appropriate books at home to prepare them for achievement in school and beyond. Oklahoma Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is authorized by Oklahoma State Statutes 70 O.S. § 3-104.10 and § 3-104.11.

In 2025, OSDE entered into a contract with the Oklahoma Partnership for School Readiness to be the state’s managing partner for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. To learn more about the Imagination Library in Oklahoma visit: https://www.okschoolreadiness.org/dolly-partons-imagination-library
