(b) Moneys from the fund shall be used to provide age-appropriate books on a monthly basis, at home, to each child registered in the program, from birth to their fifth birthday, inclusive, at no cost to families, through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. (c) (1) Moneys from the fund shall be allocated to qualified local entities that agree to a dollar-for-dollar match for purposes of the program. (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the State Librarian may waive the dollar-for-dollar match requirement for a qualified local entity on a case-by-case basis to prevent undue financial hardship.
