Imagination Library RVA
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has arrived in the City of Richmond!
​
Read to Them is the RVA affiliate of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. As an affiliate of the program, we help provide a free, age-appropriate, high-quality book each month to registered children from birth to age five. These books are mailed directly to the child’s home to create a gifting experience that makes books exciting and shows the child someone is thinking of them.
“The single most significant factor influencing a child’s early educational success is an
introduction to books and being read to at home prior to beginning school.”
- National Commission on Reading

"Approximately 85% of brain development happens in the first five years of life, so reading during these critical years significantly increases a child’s lifelong capacity to learn."
