and a foundation for scholastic success.

About Siskiyou Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library

In 2017, First 5 Siskiyou established a partnership between Dolly Parton’s Foundation and local Delta Kappa Gamma – Gamma Nu Chapter and the Siskiyou Community Resource Collaborative to bring this important program to Siskiyou County. To date, a total of 1,754 Siskiyou children, from birth to age 5, have received monthly books mailed directly to their home. In the words of Dolly Parton “you can never have enough books in enough children’s hands”. Won’t you join us by sponsoring a child today? Learn more …

Our goal

Our goal is to ensure all of the children in Siskiyou, from birth to age five, have access to books, are inspired to love to read, and have every opportunity to succeed! As we approach the beginning of our fourth year, we want to thank all of our past and future donors for their important part in the success of the Siskiyou Dolly Parton Imagination Library.

Please consider sponsoring a Siskiyou County child, or children, for this valuable resource. A $25.00 donation will provide one year of books for one child — that’s 12 books! Your generous gift is tax deductible. 100% of all donations go toward the cost of the books. Thank you for helping children launch their life with a love of reading in their early years that is a lifelong lasting gift on so many levels!

With much gratitude,

Dr. Glee Brooks, Chair of Siskiyou Dolly Parton Imagination Library
Gamma Nu Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma

What Parents are Saying

“Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a blessing to my family. It not only lets my kids bond by reading to each other, my 3-year old son looks forward to the mail each month! I want to say thank you, Amanda Linse and family

“My 4-year old daughter, Penny, loves Imagination Library! Everyday when we get the mail, she excitedly looks for her next new book, and when it comes we unwrap it & read & read & read it! — and then she reads it back! Now her 17-mo. old brother also receives books — and we have even more excitement and reading!
Thank you so much! ~ Kelli Nichols
