The Community Foundation Sonoma County & First 5 Sonoma County,
have partnered with The Dollywood Foundation & California’s Dolly Parton’s
Imagination Library to ensure universal access to free books for the county’s
23,000+ children younger than 5.
A personal library in the home is proven by research to positively benefit
very young children – helps support cognitive development & language skills,
increasing nurturing interactions between caregivers & children & cultivating
a lifelong love of reading.
Sonoma County Parents will be able to enroll their age-eligible child & have the
option to choose their child’s books in English, Spanish, or bilingual.
Each enrolled child will receive a book in the mail form the Dollywood Foundation
on a monthly basis until their 5th birthday.
