City staff briefed the board Aug. 12 on the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program that serves Pulaski County, including Little Rock.
Staff said the affiliate mails one age‑appropriate book per month to enrolled children from birth to age 5 at no cost to families. The cost to the Imagination Library organization is about $30 per child per year, staff said. If a child is enrolled at birth, the program can provide a home library of up to 60 books by the time the child turns 5.
Staff described enrollment partners: the Little Rock School District pre‑K programs, pediatrician offices that help parents sign up during visits, and the Central Arkansas Library System (CALS). Staff said they can request additional points of enrollment from the Imagination Library affiliate to increase outreach.
No formal action was taken; this was an informational briefing and staff offered to gather further enrollment information if the board desired.
