Help bring a free book every month to every child under five in North Carolina
North Carolina already funds Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library so children under five can receive a free book each month. This is a thank-you — and a request to protect and sustain that investment.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce donated $2 million
▶ to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Your part costs nothing: ask your state to help every child participate.
Figures use U.S. Census population estimates and the Imagination Library’s ~$30/child annual cost. Savings are projections; see the Model Funding Proposal for detail.
