Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library (DPIL) and Smart Start are working together to get books into the hands of North Carolina’s youngest children through funding in our new state budget.
DPIL is a program created to foster a love of reading among children aged birth to five through the gift of a specially selected book delivered right to their home each month.
Families register for DPIL online or by filling out a registration form and returning it to Durham's Partnership for Children (1201 S. Briggs Ave., Ste. 100, Durham, NC 27703).
Children will receive one high-quality, developmentally-appropriate book each month until their fifth birthday.
There is NO COST or obligation to families.
