Lansing Housing Commission and Communities In Schools of Michigan have teamed up to bring the love of reading to children. With this partnership, families who live within the 48906 zip code can now register for a free new book for their children up to the age of 5 through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Program.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, no matter their family’s income. Each month, a high quality, age-appropriate book is addressed and sent to all registered children. By adding this new zip code, residents who live in Lansing Housing Commission properties and area neighborhoods can now register for the Imagination Library program.

Additional ZIP codes in the Lansing area that are eligible for the program include: 48911, 48915, and 48933

For more information, residents can go to imaginationlibrary.com/check-availability to register for the reading program where they’ll be required to put in their address and make sure they’re in a coverage area. Registration is ongoing.
