Power of the Purse helps to fund Imagination Library Imagination Library is a free monthly book program available to children ages 5 and under in Duluth, Proctor, Hermantown and up the North Shore. Each child receives a new, age-appropriate, hard cover book sent to them at their home each month until their fifth birthday. The program is offered to families at no cost. Launched by Dolly Parton to foster a love of reading among her county’s preschool children and their families, the program has since spread across the United States. Every child’s first book is the classic The Little Engine That Could ™ and in their very last month in the program they receive Look Out Kindergarten Here I Come™.
