Annie Droege, Regional Director, Western Ohio of the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Ohio talks with Lorena Mora-Mowry about the new bilingual English/ Spanish book collection now available to families in Ohio. "Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Ohio mails children one age-appropriate book each month until the child’s fifth birthday. All children between the ages of birth and five years old in Ohio can sign up to receive a free monthly book delivery" explains Annie. Books included in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library are selected by the Dollywood Foundation’s Blue Ribbon Book Selection Committee, a specifically selected panel of early childhood literacy experts. Each book is age-appropriate for the child receiving it, and arrives in the mail at no cost to families.  In Ohio, 409,075 children are currently receiving a monthly book delivery from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Ohio.
