Funding unclear for Indiana's Dolly Parton Library, but signups still open statewide
Despite questions remaining on how much funding the state has raised to continue Indiana's participation in the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program, county operations are encouraged to remain open to applicants. Earlier this year, the future of the program, which sends free books to children aged 5 and younger, was put into question when the approved state budget did not include future funding for the program. The state legislature approved $6 million in funding for two years in 2023, with plans for it to expand to every county in Indiana. Soon after the news of the funding cuts made national headlines, Gov. Braun announced that his wife, First Lady Maureen Braun, would oversee running the fundraising campaign to sustain the program. More on the First Lady's announcement: After budget cuts, First Lady Maureen Braun launches fundraiser for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Maureen Braun launched the fundraising campaign through the Indiana State Library Foundation on April 29, but a spokesperson for the governor's office told IndyStar that the First Lady has not made any announcements yet about how much has been raised. 'She looks forward to sharing more updates about her work soon,' said Molly Craft, Braun's deputy chief of staff for communications. Craft also said that counties are encouraged to sign up families to start receiving books and that they are optimistic that all 92 counties will continue operations this year. Currently, there are over 127,000 children enrolled in the program across the state as of July 2025, Melinda Brown, the state director for Indiana's Imagination Library program, told IndyStar. Any family in Indiana with a child age 5 or younger can apply to their local program operator to start getting free books delivered to their home. Families can check if their area is supported by the Imagination Library program by going to and clicking on "Can I register my child?" For more information about the First Lady's fundraising initiative or to donate, visit the Indiana State Library Foundation's website.

Meet IndyStar Pulliam fellow Sam Habashy
IndyStar's newsroom internships are an important tradition that benefits readers, the news industry and aspiring journalists. We have nine summer interns for 2025 — students who have shown a passion for local journalism and have prior internship or student media experience. The program provides a bridge from student journalism to the professional ranks and helps the Star fill the gaps as our full-time staff take well-earned vacation time. Similarly, we're taking a break from our "Meet the Staff" feature for the summer to give you a chance to, yes, meet the interns. We also call them Pulliam fellows — in recognition of the family that used to own the newspaper and has continued to support journalism in Indianapolis — and past participants have gone on to rich careers at the Star and elsewhere in journalism. Up this week is 2025 IndyStar intern Sam Habashy. I am on the features beat! I am a rising senior studying journalism and international studies at Northwestern University next door in Illinois! The infinite impact of storytelling. You never know who or where your words will reach and when. What drew me in was both the opportunity to learn from a dedicated team and connect with Indianapolis' growing Arab community. I was excited to bring in their perspective as part of the city's broader, diverse narrative. The IndyStar felt like the perfect place to contribute meaningfully to cultural storytelling while continuing to find and refine my voice in the industry. I'm currently reading "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. It's a short read, but incredibly powerful — one of those books that stays with you long after you put it down. "This World is Not Conclusion" by Emily Dickinson. I return to that poem whenever I need a breath of fresh air. Show up, be present, and be kind! A best friend passed this along to me after hearing it from her high school leadership teacher, and it's stuck with me ever since. I love how her teacher's words have continued to ripple outward, and now I get to share them with you — how cool! "The Amazing Race," and I'd partner up with my older brother. It would be such a fun way to experience the world. Bangkok, Thailand. My favorite dessert is mango sticky rice, so it's a dream of mine to try it right where it originated.
