Dolly reminds us that we can not get enough books into the hands of enough children.

Research says children with more books in the house do better in school than children living in a house without books.

There is a buzz about the contestants of the National Spelling Bee - they are incredible young people!
They are smart and likely entered kindergarten able to read.

Recently a GrandDad shared a picture of his granddaughter’s 1st place Spelling Bee Certificate in the First grade with Debi Weinert.

He gives thanks for the high quality books mailed monthly from the Imagination Library to his granddaughter until she was five yrs old.

She entered kindergarten able to read because of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. She likely aced 1st grade too.

Early childhood literacy helps ensure success in school.

Rest in Peace.

Timothy was an amazing person, we’ve been present at TEDxEustis as well as The Amazing Race for Charity.

He always found time to lend an ear or offer encouragement.

He will be missed by not only us but the entire Lake County Community.

Thoughts are with his family and friends.
