Amazing news! As of March 31, over 10,000 children under age 5 have been registered to receive a free book once a month through the Chester County Imagination Library (CCIL)! That’s over 33% of eligible children in Chester County, for a total of 186,670 books delivered to date—and over 100,000 books delivered in 2024! We are so grateful to our partners at the Justamere Foundation, YMCA of Greater Brandywine, and Kennett Library; to our generous donors and supporters; and to all who made this incredible milestone possible!
