Children enrolled in this program, established by country music legend Dolly Parton and managed by UWTC, receive one free book every month, from birth through age 5. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library currently supports underserved neighborhoods in 48 Tarrant County ZIP codes.

How to join

Requirements:

  • Be around 40 years old or younger
  • Make a $25 or $125 donation to support the Dolly Parton Imagination Library
    • $25 = one year of free books for a child

Emerging Leaders also have the opportunity to join Women United for a $500 annual contribution.

Let us know about your interest and any questions you have. We’ll be in touch soon.
