Wake County Smart Start and Dolly Parton's Imagination Library are working together to get books into the hands of Wake County's youngest children. Enrollment is open for all around the clock.

Children must be below 5 years of age.

In 1995, Dolly Parton launched Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to benefit the children of her home county in East Tennessee. Now, Dolly is spreading the library to NC.

According to Parton's website, the NC General Assembly approved $3.5 million for the first year and $7 million for the second year for Smart Start to administer the Imagination Library across NC.
