We are celebrating a couple of events on February 4th! Today is World Read Aloud Day - and - National Thank a Mail Carrier Day! So take time today to grab a book and read aloud to promote literacy and storytelling. And if you see your mail carrier, say thank you for delivering Dolly Parton's Imagination Library books to our local children.

These early years go fast.
The bedtime stories. The questions. The wonder. 💛

New international research shows that even after just 10 books, children enrolled in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library are more engaged with books and developing stronger early literacy skills.

Don’t let your child miss out on the joy—and the opportunity—of free books from birth. 📚 https://imaginationlibrary.com/international-research

Millions of books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library are inspiring a love of reading in children each month—but their journey doesn’t end there. From a child’s mailbox to a college classroom, read how the very pallets that Direct Mail Services uses to deliver these books go on to fund Mission of Hope scholarships for students in Appalachia, turning simple materials into hope, opportunity, and brighter futures. ❤️📚 https://imaginationlibrary.com/turning-pallets-into-possibilities-how-dolly-partons-imagination-library-supports-mission-of-hope-scholarships/
