: The Smart Start Network understands the importance of getting lots of books to as many young children as possible. The NC Partnership for Children and the Smart Start Network are working hard to secure enough funding to resume DPIL registrations.

Currently, The Children's Council is providing Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (DPIL) to as many children as our state funding will allow. So, we are not able to accept NEW registrations after February 1, 2025. 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀. For updates, check here- [https://www.smartstart.org/dolly-partons-imagination-library/].

While our state funding of $ 7million for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is at capacity in Watauga. We encourage you to stay up to date with status of the DPIL by returning to this site for updates.

You’ll be the first to know when NEW enrollment reopens!
