Since the beginning of the SSBC programme over 350,000 Dolly Parton Imagination Library books have been delivered to children in Nottingham


We're immensely proud to have been able to provide the gift of reading and sharing stories with lots of Nottingham children. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and as we near the end of the SSBC programme we have now closed our Dolly Parton Imagination Library offer for new families. 

We also want to make sure that all of the children who receive books now can continue to do so for as long as possible, so if you've changed address please let us know by contacting our admin team on [email protected] and including DPIL Change of Address in the subject line.

We'd also love to hear about what receiving Dolly Parton books has meant to you and your child, so if you'd like to share your thoughts on this with us then please contact us on [email protected] and mark your email for the attention of the comms team - thank you!
