Growing Readers

Give the gift of reading to a young child in Knox County and sponsor a child today!

When you support Imagination Library, you are directly helping a young family in Knox County set a solid foundation for their children both in school and in life.

Growing young readers! 

Getting a book in the mail each month keeps the excitement alive and encourages families to read together. Did you know that in Knox County, it costs nearly $600,000 each year to deliver books to almost 19,000 kids each month? Half of the cost of the books are paid by the Governor's Early Literacy Foundation, but we need supporters like YOU to help cover the rest. Our community must raise $1.40 for every book that is delivered.


Each $20 gift will buy books for one child for an entire year! You can make a one-time donation or easily set up a recurring gift each month. 


We appreciate your contribution to the Friends of the Knox County Public Library (EIN: 23-7208195) on behalf of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Knox County. Because you received no goods or services, the entire amount of your contribution may be considered a gift for tax purposes.
