Imagination Library

One of the most beloved early literacy programs in the world — and it’s right here in Adair County. The Imagination Library has mailed over 200 million free books to children around the globe since 1995, and we are proud to be part of that mission.

Every month, children enrolled in the Imagination Library receive a brand new, age-appropriate book delivered straight to their front door — completely free of charge. From birth through age five, your child will build their very own personal library one book at a time, nurturing a love of reading that will last a lifetime.

Because every child deserves to grow up with a story in their hands.
