Support Team Dolly on Wayne State Giving Day on April 13

Today is Wayne State Giving Day! Today, we come together to shape Wayne State’s future. All gifts, large and small, fuel how Detroit’s university can create a better world. #GiveGreenBeGold at givingday.wayne.edu Wayne State University hosts a local chapter affiliate for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, anchored by Wayne State’s University Library System.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (DPIL) is an international program that promotes early childhood literacy by offering enrolled children ages 0-5 one age-appropriate book every month, delivered to their door at no out-of-pocket cost. Since 2020, all children under age five living in zip codes 48201 and 48202 have been eligible to register for the Imagination Library through WSU's chapter, nicknamed Team Dolly. Raising necessary funds to expand and sustain coverage for the entire city of Detroit is Team Dolly's goal. Funds raised would also be put towards programming and additional resources to support literacy development for children and their caregivers.

Our team has and will continue to collaborate with Detroit institutions and organizations. Additional funding coupled with alliance among DPIL chapters throughout Michigan will hopefully lead to statewide coverage. A gift of $26 covers the cost for a child to receive 12 high-quality Imagination Library books. This sponsors a child for one entire year in DPIL. Donating to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library this Giving Day will further aid our mission to bring families and communities together through literacy and foster a love of reading in potential future Warriors.
