(Ohio County, Ind.) - Ohio County signed on to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in 2007 to give children in the community the opportunity to learn to love reading at a young age. 

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting books free of charge to children from birth to age five.
