(CBS DETROIT) - Kids in Dearborn can get their hands on free books thanks to a new initiative, The Dearborn Advantage. 

Mayor Abdullah Hammoud made the announcement Tuesday at the Henry Ford Centennial Library. 

He said it's been four years in the making but after a partnership with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and the $2.8M Endowment Fund, the program is now available to kids and parents alike. 

You can get a free book a month for five years, which adds up to 60 books.
