Morrison County United Way (MCUW) is the fiscal sponsor of the Imagination Library books for Morrison County and 4 zip codes in Todd County. This program is made possible through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.

MCUW has been the fiscal sponsor of the Imagination Library for Morrison County since 2002. In December of 2022, they added Browerville, Eagle Bend, Clarissa and Staples to their service area at the request of a local healthcare organization. In 2025, they delivered a total of 13,201 books with a cost of $2.30 per book which is covered by MCUW so that children age 0-5 years old that are enrolled in the program and living in the MCUW service area can receive the books for free. That’s a yearly cost of $30,362 in books that are delivered free to local children. Each year, MCUW fundraises to reach this goal.
