Dolly Parton's Imagination Library expands to provide free books for young children statewide in California.

Every child under the age of five in California is now qualified to receive a free book in the mail every month, thanks to the state’s expansion of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. The program aims to provide preschool-aged children and their families with specifically selected books despite their financial backgrounds. California will be the first state to provide a bilingual book option in English and Spanish. Since the initiative launched, the Imagination Library has gifted over 200 million books across 50 states.
