The Dolly Parton Imagination Library has arrived in Colonial Beach!

The Colonial Beach Community Foundation is proud to bring Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to children living in the 22443 zip code.

The Dolly Parton Imagination Library is a proven, transformative program that helps build a strong foundation for early literacy by providing free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five.

Each month, enrolled children receive a carefully selected, age-appropriate book delivered directly to their home at no cost to families. This consistent access to books not only fosters a love of reading but also strengthens language development, school readiness, and family bonding through shared reading experiences. Communities that invest in early literacy see lasting benefits, and this program is a simple, impactful way to ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed.

Families in our community can easily enroll their children online to begin receiving books each month. Registration is quick and open to all eligible children, making it an accessible resource for every household. The CB Community Foundation is proud to support and sustain this program locally, ensuring its long-term success and reach. As the non-profit partner, the Foundation will cover the cost of the books (about $2.60 per month, per child).

Community members and partners are invited to join in this effort—donations help cover the cost of books and mailing, directly putting stories into the hands of children who need them most. Together, we can inspire a lifelong love of reading and invest in the future of our youngest learners. You can help by donating to this special program that ensures delivery of books to our children for generations to come.
