The Dolly Parton Imagination Library (DPIL) has launched in Charles City County.

Partnering with Quickstart Children of Virginia (QCV) and the Chickahominy Indian Tribe Childcare and Development Center, the program will enroll children under the age of five in a promotion to inspire the art of reading by gifting free books. The program started in 1995 and currently has 88 locations in the state.
