Bell Memorial Public Library has partnered with Kosciusko County United Way to be a registration spot for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is available to all children under 5 who live in Kosciusko County. Each child receives a free book every month until they turn 5. The books are in groups per birth year so that a brother doesn’t get the same set as his older sister. Anyone can sign a child up and have the books delivered to the designated address. Interested patrons can fill out the registration forms and library staff will take care of the rest. Registration forms are located at the main circulation desk.
