Registration for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library (DPIL) is now open! Fayette County parents can stop by the library to complete a registration form. DPIL provides a free book each month to children from birth until age 5. Each book has been carefully selected by literacy specialists for age appropriate themes. If a child begins the program at birth, by the time they reach their 5th birthday, they will have a 60 book library of their own!
