Fund Spotlight
Dolly Parton Imagination Library Westmoreland Community
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a partnership with the community to provide free, age-appropriate books to all children ages birth to five years, who live within the Westmoreland zip code area. Improving early childhood literacy creates opportunities for children to thrive and succeed in school and help their communities grow and prosper. The Imagination Library helps supply books to families, regardless of income and background. Westmoreland has a DPIL program, established through the Caring Community Foundation by the commitment of local donors. The Dollywood Foundation supports the program by providing the structure and book selection, procurement and fulfillment processes. Local funders and partners cover the at-cost book and mailing expenses and local promotional costs for children registered in the coverage area (zip code 66549). We mail books to all children monthly, so expenses are ongoing and donations are continually needed.
Mr. and Mrs. John Annan Dolly Parton Imagination Library Endowment for Onaga, KS
John and Marge Annan were delightful people, devoted to family and very active in the Onaga community. Among many talents and contributions, John was a barber, a great storyteller, reader and conversationalist. Marge was a beloved childcare provider and librarian. They were loving parents. Their children have established a permanent fund in their memory: a fund to support a Dolly Parton Imagination Library program for all young children who live within the Onaga zip code 66521. This fund is endowed in order to help ensure this children’s literacy resource lasts forever. The Imagination Library fosters a love of reading and learning in preschool children by mailing them a free, age-appropriate book each month until they turn five years old, regardless of the family’s income.
