It is with much excitement we announce the creation of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Frankfort! For those unfamiliar with this organization, any child in our community (from birth to age five; registered with our affiliate) will be eligible to receive a book in the mail each month.

As educators, you understand the importance of getting books in the hands of children and that the earlier the better!

The monthly cost for each book mailed home is $1.05 with the state currently matching funds to DPIL affiliates. With a $25 donation, you can put 24 books into our community. How can you help?

1. Like our Facebook page - Imagination Library of Frankfort.

2. Share the page with your family and friends.

3. If you are able, please donate to help us reach our launch goal of $10,000. Donations can be made via Venmo - @DPILFrankfort OR check written to Imagination Library of Frankfort and mailed to 720 Reed Drive, Frankfort, KY 40601.
