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.
