The club announced they have joined the Dolly Parton Imagination Library book program. Parents can sign up children up to the age of 5 to receive a free book delivered monthly to your home.

Parton announced the Canadian expansion of her Imagination Library program in Toronto in 2006, with a goal of "inspiring a love of reading in young children," according to the website for the program.
