Books in the home provide a pivotal connection point for caregivers and children for developing important social and emotional skills, as well the most critical life skills that children will acquire--literacy and a love of learning. However, access to books in many communities is limited and many households have no books at all. But what if communities had the means to get high-quality, age-appropriate books into the hands of every child at home? In 1995, singer Dolly Parton had a dream that every preschool child would have their very own library of books. Remembering her experiences as a child, and with a true understanding of the power of dreams and a love of all children, Dolly was inspired to create the Imagination Library. The Imagination Library program mails a high-quality, age-appropriate book once a month directly to the homes of registered children, ages birth to age 5. The books are selected by a panel of educators, academics, and early childhood specialists according to the age of the receiving child. The books progress in complexity and themes to assist in developing skills along the way. As communities have embraced the Imagination Library program, many of them have chosen to examine the impact of the program on local children and family culture. The results of these studies provide supporting evidence that a family's culture around books and reading changes as they collect more books. Dolly's Imagination Library program has proven to be an effective, low-cost way to provide children with access to books in the home. The simple act of delivering a high-quality book to a child at home brings parents and children together in a special way and changes family behaviors. This is not to suggest that the Imagination Library is a panacea; it takes many people working together to make sure that no child slips through the cracks. Yet books in the home should certainly be a cornerstone of any community's early childhood strategy. Every child deserves access to high-quality books in the home. Every child deserves their very own Imagination Library.
