Pittsburgh Expands Book Access for Kids

Pittsburgh’s launching a bold reading revolution for kids under five, thanks to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library—free monthly books delivered straight to homes, no income requirements. With 4,200 kids already signed up (30% of the target), the city aims to hit 65% participation, boosting early literacy and school readiness. Backed by a $1.8M five-year investment from the Benter Foundation and local partners, the program’s simple sign-up process—through CityParks, libraries, and events—ensures every child gets the gift of stories and a brighter future.
