Indiana First Lady Maureen Braun announced on Tuesday the launch of a new fundraising initiative to expand and sustain Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library across the state.
The initiative establishes a public-private partnership aimed at supporting the beloved book-giving program that promotes early childhood literacy by delivering free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five.
“Reading opens up a world of imagination for kids, and having books in the home benefits children in school and throughout their lives,” Braun said. “I’m proud to champion this effort to keep Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library growing strong here in Indiana and to help Hoosier kids develop a lifelong love of reading.”
The First Lady is collaborating with philanthropic organizations and state leaders to secure funding and raise awareness for the Imagination Library’s ongoing expansion. The initiative will bolster efforts to enroll more children across Indiana’s 92 counties and ensure the program’s sustainability for future generations.
“We are honored to work alongside First Lady Maureen Braun to bring the magic of books into more homes across Indiana,” The Dollywood Foundation President and Vice Chair Jeff Conyers said. “Her commitment to ensuring the success of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Indiana gives us confidence that this program will flourish – reaching more families, inspiring more children, and building a brighter future for generations to come.”
