- Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library: Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting books free of charge to children from birth to age five. The project was initiated in Montana by First Lady Susan Gianforte, and sponsored by the Treasure State Foundation in partnership with The Dollywood Foundation. With the help of the Friends of the North Lake County Public Library, the North Lake County Public Library District is the affiliate for all children in Lake County (except Arlee, which has its own program). You can also register your child anytime online at www.imaginationlibrary.com or stop in and see us and we will register your child so they may receive a new book each month, delivered right to their home.
