Imagination Library – first book arrives

“The Little Engine That Could” began arriving in local mailboxes recently as part of the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library initiative. The books are a special gift from donors to the United Way of McLeod County.

To date over 120 children from all eight zip codes represented in McLeod County have enrolled in the program. All children born after January 1, 2009, that reside in the county are eligible to receive these free books. These children will receive their own personal library of 60 age-appropriate hard cover books. The titles will arrive in the mail each and every month until the child’s 5th birthday.

To enroll a child, please use the “Imagination Library” link on this website. Donations for this specific initiative can be sent to the United Way of McLeod County, 218 Main Street South, Suite 124, PO Box 504, Hutchinson, MN 55350. Please denote Imagination Library on the memo line.
