San Diego, CA, November 12, 2026 —

A program founded by country music superstar Dolly Parton, known as The Imagination Library, is expanding its reach to San Diego County. This initiative aims to provide free books to children residing in the area. The expansion will bring the program’s mission of fostering a love for reading from an early age to local families.

The Imagination Library mails one new, age-appropriate book each month to registered children from birth up to age five. The program’s primary goal is to encourage early literacy skills and ensure that all children, regardless of their family’s economic status, have access to books. Historically, the program has seen significant success in communities where it has been implemented, with millions of books delivered across the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Details regarding the specific timeline for the San Diego County launch and the exact age range of eligible children were not provided in the summary. The scope of the expansion, including which specific communities or cities within San Diego County will be initially covered, was also not detailed. Information on how families can register their children for the program will likely be made available as the expansion progresses.

The Imagination Library was first launched by Dolly Parton in her hometown of Sevierville, Tennessee, in 1995. It began by mailing one book per month to children in Sevier County, Tennessee, from birth to age five. Over the years, the program has grown exponentially, partnering with local affiliates and organizations to bring the service to new regions. The expansion into San Diego County marks another step in its nationwide effort to promote early childhood literacy.
