United Way to Partner with Dolly Parton
Imagination Library!
10/29/2009
 United
Way of Santa Barbara County is partnering with the Dolly Parton
Imagination Library to distribute books to Santa Barbara County children
under the age of 5.
Educators have emphasized the fact that reading with your preschool
child is the single most important activity to prepare a child for
school. With this partnership, county children, from the day they are
born, can register for the program and receive a book mailed directly to
their home every month at no charge until their fifth birthday.
A blue ribbon committee of early childhood education experts selects the
books for the Imagination Library, which includes such beloved classics
as The Little Engine That Could®, Spot Goes to the Farm, The Snowy Day,
The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for
Kindergarten.
Stay tuned in the coming months as United Way rolls out this new and
exciting opportunity to help our children start school ready to succeed.
