Reminder: Kids ages 0-5 that live in the 24153-area code may sign up for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library and receive a free book in the mail once a month until they reach their 5th birthday. “Share information with friends and family members who have young children,” Benita Rae VanCleave, senior librarian, said. “If you have family living in other areas of the United States, go to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library website (https://dollypartonimaginationlibrary)and check on program availability in their area. Getting access to books for children beginning at birth is important to build literacy skills that lead to later success at school.”
