Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - Book Your Child a Ticket to the Imagination Library!
Enroll your child in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library
and we'll send them a FREE BOOK every month
until their fifth birthday.

The time you spend reading with your child opens
their mind to faraway places, exciting adventures and
sets them on the pathway to an interest in lifelong learning.

Read to your child- it's a wise investment in their future and the future of our community.

0-4 Years of Age Eligible

If your child lives in Altamont 67330 zip code, register
at the Altamont City Office.

If you would like to sponsor a child to receive books for one year, you can mail your donation to Altamont Recreation Commission, PO Box 305, Altamont, KS 67330. $25 will sponsor a child for one year. The gift of reading is the best thing we can do for our future.
