Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton in 1996, sends a new, age-appropriate, high-quality book in the mail each month to children under the age of 5 at no cost to their families. Participating in Imagination Library increases family reading time and has been shown to help children begin kindergarten prepared.
As the umbrella organization for Imagination Libraries across Alaska, Best Beginnings provides technical support, training, funding, and ensures the statewide network of Imagination Libraries stays strong so books will keep coming to thousands of Alaska children each month.
