"You can never get enough books into the hands of enough children."
Pioneer Library System is proud to announce that we have partnered with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to bring this program to Cleveland, McClain, and Pottawatomie Counties. Imagination Library puts books into the hands of children under five, living in our service area, every month for FREE!
Each Imagination Library book is expertly selected, age-appropriate and personalized with your child’s name on the mailing label. Each month, a book will be delivered directly to your home for a special experience that will get your child excited about reading.
