Books from Birth is a program offered by Porter-Leath in Memphis, TN that aims to promote early literacy and strengthen family bonds in Shelby County. As the largest affiliate of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in the United States, Books from Birth provides age-appropriate books to children from birth to age five at no cost to Shelby County families.
Established in 2005, Books from Birth is supported by the Dollywood Foundation, Governor's Early Literacy Foundation, and private donors. The program works in partnership with the Dollywood Foundation for book selection and mailing, while the Governor's Early Literacy Foundation provides a state grant to cover half of the book and mailing costs. The remaining funds are raised locally to ensure the continuation of this valuable program.
