Monterey County: Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
I wanted to share a great resource available to families in Monterey County: Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
The program provides one free book each month to children from birth through their 5th birthday. If a child is enrolled at birth, they can receive up to 60 books by the time they turn five—a savings of more than $500 per family!
Our county waited to participate until we felt the book selections were more culturally representative, and we’re pleased to share that the current selections are now much more diverse. We especially recommend the bilingual option, which offers some of the most diverse book selections available through the program.
I would love for us to help spread the word about this opportunity as far and wide as possible throughout our Black community, so please share this information with families, parents, caregivers, and anyone who may benefit.
Please spread the word about Imagination Library! Families can learn more and sign up here:

Thank you so much for helping us get the word out and connect more families with this wonderful resource!
Best,
