Calling all Scotland Changemakers!

Help Us Inspire a lifelong love of reading and learning in Scotland’s Youngest Children

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a simple way to invest in Scotland’s future. We gift a high-quality, age-appropriate book every month to children from birth until age five.

Just imagine if every child in Scotland was made to feel extra special by receiving a book addressed just to them from Dolly Parton! The excitement of opening that “gift” every month with their special person and exploring new adventures and wonders of the world. This is what we like to call “Dolly’s magic” and where children’s dreams are born.

Because children will do what they love, reading their favorite books again and again, we help them build a foundation of language and literacy that sets them on a path to make their own unique mark in the world. Gifting a book is simple, but the dreaming it sparks is beyond Imagination.[1]
