The Alexander City Rotary Club has sponsored Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for over 10 years. By being a sponsor of the library, they are able to give free books to over 700 children in the area each month.
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a foundation that provides free books to children from the time they are born until they start school. The Imagination Library seeks out organizations that support the children of their communities to sponsor them.
