Children enrolled in this program, established by country music legend Dolly Parton and managed by UWTC, receive one FREE BOOK each month, ages birth through five. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library currently supports underserved neighborhoods in 23 zip codes that touch 11 Tarrant County communities.
