The Missouri DESE will partner with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to expand their program statewide across Missouri beginning November 8. The Missouri Imagination Library was made possible by legislation (Section 178.694 RSMo) that identifies school districts as the local partner for this initiative. Full funding was included in DESE’s Fiscal Year 2024 budget to establish and administer Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for all children in Missouri age 0-5.
