Sparking childhood literacy in Yavapai County
ILPA is a local affiliate of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, serving families living in Yavapai County, Arizona.
Provides books at no cost to children from the age of 0-5 by mailing a book to their home every month.
Families with children between the ages of 0 and 5, residing in Yavapai County, AZ.
Years of research and dozens of studies point to the same thing: reading to children from the time they are born is critical to literacy development and academic success. Research shows that access to high quality children’s literature has a tremendous impact on children’s early literacy development, which in turn impacts their overall school success in subsequent years. The books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library encourage parent involvement and create a home library to help engage parents and children in reading together.
Dolly Parton believed in giving back and helping children dream bigger—and this year, we’re celebrating that spirit right here in the Prescott Area through Give Like Dolly Day. On September 25, we’re inviting our community to join us in giving back and celebrate Dolly with us to show that her work will continue!
We’ve set up this campaign with a goal of $24,050 a number that will provide 9250 free, high-quality books to children ages 0-5 in Yavapai County.
With your help, Imagination Library of the Prescott Area can reach this goal and continue the work we’ve set out to do delivering monthly books to more than 3000 children in Yavapai County.
Support from people like you make all the difference! It costs $30 to mail books to one child for a year. Consider supporting ILPA as an individual or business today.
