An act relating to establishing the Vermont Imagination Library

This bill establishes the Vermont Imagination Library, a three-year pilot program that provides free monthly books to children from birth to age five who reside in Vermont. The Agency of Education would manage the program in partnership with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, handling daily operations, volunteer coordination, and public outreach to encourage donations and registrations. Funding would come from a 50/50 split between private donations and state appropriations, with an initial $100,000 appropriation for fiscal year 2025. The program includes a requirement for annual reports on enrollment and growth, and it would automatically end after three years unless renewed by the legislature.
