Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is expanding its free monthly book offer for young children in London. The program mails children a book each month from birth until they turn five, with the aim of encouraging early reading.
Multiple outlets report that the rollout now covers additional parts of the capital. The Evening Standard says eligibility has expanded so that around 157,000 children in London are now covered, with the scheme reaching 10 London boroughs. BBC Entertainment likewise focuses on the expansion in London, describing the monthly books as the core feature of the service.
The coverage largely aligns on what the scheme does and that it is growing in London, with differences mainly in the level of detail provided about the scale and which boroughs are included.
