Eugene, OR – According to the statement, the announcement means that the state will work toward its goal to make books from the program available to all children ages 0-5 in every Oregon county.

The Imagination Library is supported by The Dollywood Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded by Dolly Parton in 1988.

Since launching in 1995, the goal of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is for every child under age five to enroll and receive a free monthly age-appropriate book.

The Imagination Library of Oregon will aim to increase childhood literacy rates, foster a love of books, and promote a culture of reading among all families in the state.
