Dolly Parton's Imagination Library | Tippecanoe County

Our household has been receiving books every month since my oldest was born over nine years ago. That's a lot of books! An armful of those books have become beloved favorites, their pages worn, marked on, and verses memorized. We've received a few duplicate books over the years and have ended up being grateful for them because we sometimes need replacements!

Dolly Parton's mission to bring books into the home of every child is one worth sharing. Here's a link to register your child in Tippecanoe County (thanks, Lafayette Rotary Club!) and use this link to check for program availability in your area.

I pulled just a few of our favorites, and these are truly favorites. All three of my kids have asked for these books over and over and we can almost recite some of these from heart. Let me know if we share any favorites!
