Fyne Homes is delighted to announce that it has become a Local Program Partner with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library which will provide FREE books for tenants’ children, under the age of 5 who are eligible under the scheme.
Each month the Imagination Library will post a high quality, age-appropriate book to children. The books are specially wrapped and addressed to the child and are delivered at no cost to the family.
Fyne Homes tenants can sign up by completing the application form or they can pick up a form in any of our offices.
Inspired by her father - who couldn’t read or write - Dolly’s determination to ensure no child faces the same hardship led to the creation of a small, community book gifting project for children in Tennessee.
Since launching in 1995, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has become the preeminent early childhood book gifting program in the world. The flagship program of The Dollywood Foundation, a non-profit organization, has gifted over 200 million free books in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and The Republic of Ireland. This is achieved through funding shared by The Dollywood Foundation and Local Program Partners. The Imagination Library mails more than 2 million high-quality, age-appropriate books each month to enrolled children from birth to age five. Dolly envisioned creating a lifelong love of reading and inspiring children to Dream More, Learn More, Care More, and Be More®. The program has been widely researched and results demonstrate the positive impact on early childhood development and literacy skills.
