My wife was just sharing with my sister-in-law this program sponsored by Dolly Parton called “Imagination Library“. The campaign is to try and help pre-school age kids get more interested in reading. The program provides a free book to kids every month until their 5th birthday.
The service isn’t available everywhere and is organized by county. Regretfully, it’s not available in the Cincinatti area that my brother and his family live in, but it’s available here where we live and my daughter has already received three books. The program gets started by local communities, hence the county restriction, that promote fund and administer the program to make sure it’s made available to all pre-school aged children in the community.
If you’ve got pre-school aged children and would like to get them interested in reading, and of course that’s made even more memorable by you reading to them, then surf on over to Imagination Library and uncover this site for yourself.
