North Star Imagination Library hasn't added a story.
Since 2008, the North Star Imagination Library has been mailing books to children from birth until their fifth birthday all across the North Star Borough. As an affiliate of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, we've brought over 300,000 books that have inspired thousands of our youngest citizens and set them on the path to literary success.
Kindergarten teachers have let us know that reading to children before they arrive at school is the single most important thing parents can do to prepare their children. Imagination Library makes that so easy!
We are a group of dedicated volunteers committed to giving each child a chance to fall in love with books. Only 48% of borough children arrive at school ready to learn, according to Kindergarten teachers. We register children to receive a book each month in the mail with the help of many partner agencies. We also host family fun nights three or four times per year to help families connect with the books and each other.
Hundreds of children graduate from Imagination Library and enter Kindergarten with a collection of at least 60 books, loving many of the same books as their peers. Teachers have copies of the books to help welcome them to their new school.
For only $30, a child receives books for a whole year! This amazing program is reaching more kids for less money than any other. Our goal of $15,000 will be enough to pay for two months of books for 3,500 children. As a volunteer group with minimal administrative cost, all money raised goes to pay for books!
YOU can help a child continue to receive their monthly gift. Any donation is appreciated: from $5 for a couple of books to $150 for an entire library or more! Dolly Parton shared her program with the hopes that communities would invest in their children, help us Keep Dolly's Books Coming to Town buy making a contribution and sharing with your friends!
