The Imagination Library is a prime example of how book-gifting programmes operate. They typically partner with local organisations to register children and distribute books, often sourced through publishers at discounted rates. This model allows them to reach a wide audience, providing free books directly to families and fostering a culture of reading, just as Dolly Parton envisioned.
