Why?

The purpose of the program is to help children become “reading ready” by the time they start kindergarten. Research supports that lifelong benefits are gained when reading skills develop early in life. Parents and caregivers can use books to help children develop good reading habits. Campbell County Imagination Library is an investment in the future of our children and our community.

What are the Books?

Each book is selected by Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. A committee of parents, teachers, child development specialists, librarians, publishers and others specializing in early childhood literacy make the selections based on age appropriateness and the development of positive themes such as promotion of self-esteem and confidence, regard for diversity and appreciation of art.

How is this Possible?

The library, Campbell County Schools and the independent school districts in Bellevue, Dayton, Fort Thomas, Newport and Southgate have joined together to create the Campbell County Imagination Library. Together, we are able to bring Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to ALL children in Campbell County.

How is it Free?

The Dolly Parton Foundation provides all costs for printing the books. The library and all of the school districts pay to have the books delivered to each child each month.

  • FAQ
    • What if we move?

      Yes, each child will receive a book that is age appropriate. Each title is mailed separately to children of specific ages, so the books may arrive at different times during the month.
       

    • My child is about to turn 5. Can they be registered?

      It takes about two months from the time a child is registered to when the first book is mailed. If your child will turn 5 within the next two months, they will not be able to join the program.
       

    • I have multiple children under the age of 5. Will they each get a book?

      Yes, each child will receive a book that is age appropriate. Each title is mailed separately to children of specific ages, so the books may arrive at different times during the month.
       

    • My child was enrolled in the program before we moved to Campbell County. What do we do?

      Sign in to your child’s Imagination Library account to update your address, which will transfer you to Campbell County’s Imagination Library information. Or, you can contact your current Imagination Library program to have them transfer you into our system.
