FREE BOOKS FOR CHILDREN UNDER 5
The Imagination Library will help you read with your child. There are many reasons parents do not read to their child, but we can eliminate one of them. Every child will have books of their very own, at no cost to you, thanks to United Way of Wyoming Valley.
Each month a new, carefully selected book will be mailed in your child's name directly to your home. He/she can look forward to new and exciting reading adventures from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library until he/she turns five years old as long as you remain a resident of the Wyoming Valley. Should the child move outside the Wyoming Valley, he/she automatically exits the program.

The Imagination Library
is a FREE GIFT to our children!
All you have to do is read to your children.
All families in the Wyoming Valley with preschool children (from birth to the child's 5th birthday) are eligible to enroll in the program; however, through strategic community partners and an intentional outreach and marketing plan, at-risk families will be a focus of the effort.
What Are My Responsibilities?
- Be a resident of the Wyoming Valley.
- Submit an official registration form, completely filled out by parent or guardian (form must be approved and on file with United Way of Wyoming Valley).
- Notify United Way of Wyoming Valley any time your address changes. Books are mailed to the address listed on the official registration form. If the child's address changes, you must contact United Way of Wyoming Valley to continue receiving books.
- Read with your child.
