Patricia Ruppert and the Imagination Library

At Ruppert Grows, we celebrate the ways our team members give back to the community. One shining example is Patricia Ruppert’s service with the Imagination Library of Montgomery County, part of Dolly Parton’s world-renowned literacy initiative.

The Imagination Library mails free, age-appropriate books each month to children from birth to age five, inspiring a love of reading and giving every child the chance to start school ready to succeed. What started as Dolly Parton’s dream in a small Tennessee town has grown into a global movement that now reaches millions of families.

Here in Montgomery County, Patricia plays a key role in helping bring that dream to life for local children. Her dedication ensures that more families have access to the books and resources that spark imagination, build confidence, and open doors for the future.

We’re proud of Patricia’s leadership and grateful for her commitment to nurturing literacy—because when children grow up surrounded by books, entire communities grow stronger.
