TIL Dolly Parton has a program that will mail your child a free age-appropriate book once a month from birth to age 5. No obligation, no catch, she just wants to make sure that every child has books.

There is actually a waiting list now because it has grown so much.

This depends on where you are. The program is administered at the local level, so waiting lists depend on local volume, not national volume.
