The Verde Valley Imagination Library (VVIL) is the local affiliate of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.  As part of the program, VVIL provides free books to local children from birth to their fifth birthday in the Verde Valley, including Cottonwood, Clarkdale, Jerome, Camp Verde, Cornville, Rimrock and Sedona.

 

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is turning over a new chapter in the Imagination Library legacy and is celebrating 200 million books gifted globally since its inception in 1995.

 

To celebrate this global 200 million book milestone, seven enchanting Dolly bookmarks will be randomly hidden inside Imagination Library books gifted during International Literacy Month in September to children/families currently enrolled in the program. (Children must be enrolled by July 31, 2023 to receive Imagination Library books in September). The winners who find the bookmark are eligible to receive a video chat with Dolly, a personalized signed letter, an autographed photo and four Dollywood Theme Park tickets from her as well. The Dollywood Foundation will also donate $2000 on behalf of the child to their Local Imagination Library Partner in their community as a thank you.

 

Those interested in learning more can contact VVIL at 928.925.7530 or at our website vvilbooks.org.  They can also be reached through Facebook and Instagram.
