2025 Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Update:

We are pleased to share that enrollment for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library (DPIL) is still open in Davie County and we continue to provide free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five. Thanks to private funding and local support, we’re able to continue offering DPIL and reach more families, even as other counties close NEW registrations due to limits in state funding.  

THANK YOU

Grantors!
