Dolly Parton started a foundation called Imagination Library that I signed up for 3+ years ago when my daughter was first born. The way it worked is you sign your child up and they send you one book a month based on your child’s age…for free! I stopped receiving the books in the mail months ago. I was wondering what happened and I just saw that the Imagination Library has been suspended in the NYC area. The local affiliate sponsoring the program is working to acquire sufficient funding to sponsor all children from birth to age 5 in New York City. At this point they do not have a targeted date for the Imagination Library to resume in our area, although all parties are working to ensure an expedient return to operating status.
This was a wonderful monthly treat to get our books in the mail. I hope they get it up and running again soon! Here is the website: http://imaginationlibrary.com/
