Keep Dolly Parton's legacy going strong!

Give the Gift of a Lifetime of Reading

ECCLPS believes the legacy of Dolly Parton can—and should—live on in the lives of children and families. Every book delivered to a child’s home is more than a book. It is an invitation to spend time together, to share a story on a parent or caregiver’s lap, and to create moments that build connection, confidence, and a love of learning.

Imagine an infant nestled in the arms of their most precious teacher—their parent or caregiver—looking at colorful pictures, pointing to new things, hearing new words, and receiving an encouraging response. These simple moments of “serve and return” help build the foundation for healthy brain development and strong early learning.

For just $31, you can give a child 12 months of joy, discovery, and learning. Your gift provides one age-appropriate book every month for an entire year, helping children from birth through age five develop language and vocabulary skills through the power of repetition, conversation, and reading together.

And the impact doesn’t stop with one book—or even one child.

Over the course of the program, your support can help a child build a personal library of up to 60 books. Those books become a resource shared with siblings, grandparents, babysitters, and other caregivers. They create more opportunities for children to sit on laps, turn pages, discover pictures, hear new words, ask questions, and build the skills they need to thrive.

High-quality early childhood experiences give children a stronger foundation for success in school—and in life. By investing in books and the relationships they inspire, you are investing in a child’s future.

Will you help us bring the joy of reading into a child’s home?

A gift of $31 can provide a year of books, connection, discovery, and love. It may seem like a small gift, but to a child and family, it can become something much bigger: a growing library, a stronger bond, a love of learning, and a brighter beginning.

Give $31 today. Give a child the gift of books—and the gift of a future filled with possibility!
