Hello Awesome Folks!

We are thrilled to announce the start of the Imagination Library of San Antonio, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to increasing literacy, improving educational outcomes, and fostering a love of reading in young children across our community. As a local partner for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, we will be bringing the nationally recognized book-gifting program to San Antonio in early 2025. San Antonio is one of the largest cities in Texas WITHOUT access to Dolly's reading program. We are trying to change that! Through this program, children from birth to age five will receive free, high-quality books directly to their homes each month, helping to establish early literacy skills and a lifelong love of reading.

Our initial focus will be in South Bexar County, an area historically underserved in terms of access to libraries and bookstores. We hope to address the gap in literacy resources and give every child the opportunity to build their own home library, regardless of their socioeconomic status.

Our broader goals align with SA2020’s educational vision for 2030, which includes increasing kindergarten readiness, third-grade reading proficiency, and high school graduation rates.

To make these goals a reality, we need to start by raising the funds necessary to mail the first books to families. EVERY DOLLAR we raise goes directly towards ordering and delivering books. A $26 donation provides one child with books for an entire year.
