You should begin receiving books within eight to ten weeks after your registration form is submitted. After your child is registered, you will receive a new, age-appropriate book in the mail every month until your child reaches his/her fifth birthday.

It is important to notify Rutherford Books from Birth any time your address changes. Books are mailed to the address listed on the official registration form. If the child's address changes, you must contact us with your new address in order to continue receiving books. Please email your new address to rbfb@linebaugh.org or call 615-893-4131.

If you move to a different county within Tennessee, your child will exit the Rutherford County program. You should call toll-free 1-877-99-books or visit www.governorsfoundation.org to see if Books from Birth is available in your new community. If you move outside of Tennessee, please contact the Dollywood Foundation at 865-428-9606 to see if your new community has the Imagination Library program.
