Schaumburg Township Library Foundation is working to bring Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to our community, providing free books every month to children from birth to age five.
To make it happen, we need the support of local businesses, organizations, and community partners.

Together, we can help children build their own home libraries, foster a lifelong love of reading, and give our youngest residents a strong start for their academic future.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library (DPIL) inspires a love of reading by gifting free, high-quality, age-appropriate books to children from birth through age five. Participating children receive a specially selected book each month, mailed directly to their home.
More than 3 million books are gifted each month to children in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Republic of Ireland.
The Schaumburg Township Library Foundation is working to bring this internationally recognized early literacy program to families right here in our community.
Local fundraising covers 50% of program costs; the State of Illinois matches that amount.*
Through the State of Illinois, 50% of eligible program costs are matched, subject to annual state appropriation. That means every local dollar raised can go twice as far in bringing books to children in our community.
A book arriving in the mail each month is more than a delivery. It is an opportunity for a child and caregiver to read together, build a home library, and make books part of everyday life.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library helps:
The local program will serve eligible children from birth to age five living within six ZIP codes across Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, and Hanover Park.
We are inviting local businesses, organizations, and community partners to help launch Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Schaumburg Township.
Your organization can help put books directly into the homes of local children.
Founding Sponsors will be part of the group that makes this program possible from the very beginning. We are looking for partners willing to create an investment in literacy that can benefit local children, families, and our community for years to come.
Whether your organization gives $1,000 or $10,000+, your support brings us closer to our $40,000 goal and to the day when the first books arrive in children's mailboxes.
Join the Schaumburg Township Library Foundation and other community partners in giving local children something they can enjoy today and benefit from for years to come: their own books and a lifelong love of reading.
