WHAT IS THE IMAGINATION LIBRARY?

A FREE Book-A-Month Program For All Children Living In Erie County From Birth to Age 5!

It sounds almost too simple to be true, but when you read regularly with your children during their first years, you are giving them the biggest boost toward a successful education they will ever get!

Each month, a new, carefully selected book is mailed in your child’s name directly to your home. They look forward to new and exciting reading adventures from United Way's Imagination Library until they turn 5 years old, as long as you remain a resident of Erie County. Should your child move outside Erie County, they do exit the program. However, be sure to check the Dollywood Foundation website for an Imagination Library in your new community!

United Way's Imagination Library is a FREE gift to our children. All you have to do is read to your children.
