Important Update: Dolly Parton Imagination Library

Important program update from Imagination Library of Washington: State funding for Imagination Library of Washington was not included in the 2026 supplemental operating budget signed by Governor Ferguson on April 1, 2026. With the State’s decision to discontinue its 50 percent funding match and statewide support, that partnership model is no longer sustainable. Imagination Library of Washington will continue providing the 50 percent state match to Local Program Partners through June 30, 2026, at which time the current funding ends, the statewide program will conclude its statewide operations. More information will be shared as partner organizations determine next steps. In the meantime, program availability and enrollment options may be limited or unavailable.
