There’s something special about getting a book in the mail with your name on it. 📚❤️

Every month, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library gives children in our community that experience. A new book to open. A new story to share. Another reason to curl up together and read.

We are incredibly proud to bring this program to Kay County and help make books a part of childhood for more local families.

If you have a child from birth to age 5, sign them up. It’s free, and the books are theirs to keep.

Help us spread the word so every eligible child in Kay County has the chance to grow up with a library of their own.

Sign up today:

📚❤️ Dolly’s Impact Is Being Felt Right Here at Home

Every month, little hands across North Central Oklahoma open their mailboxes to find something special waiting for them: a brand-new book from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

Today, 1,467 local children are enrolled and receiving FREE books, and 1,134 children have already graduated from the program.

Since April 2020, an incredible 57,553+ books have been mailed directly to children in our local communities. That is thousands of bedtime stories, favorite characters, family reading moments, and opportunities to help our youngest neighbors develop a love of reading. ❤️

We want to see Dolly’s impact in our community!

📸 Parents and families, send us your favorite photos of your children with their Imagination Library books. Whether they are reading with Mom or Dad, flipping through the pages on their own, or proudly holding their newest book, we would love to see and share those special moments.

Thank you, Dolly, for giving our children the gift of books and the opportunity to dream big! 🌟📖

08/26/2026

Dolly’s vision will continue through the people and partners who help make this work possible. United Way is grateful to be part of this work, and to help more children grow up with books of their own. ❤️
