The Mohawk Valley Rotary Club, Literacy Coalition\/HOC & the Neighbourhood Center, along with several other Rotary Clubs have been partners in sending books into the homes of children in Herkimer & Oneida Counties since 2015.<\/p>\n

Currently there are 331 youngsters in the Herkimer County district enrolled in the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program.<\/p>\n

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library brings books to children’s homes. From birth until they turn five years old, children enrolled in the program will receive a new, age-appropriate book mailed to their home each month.<\/p>\n

By the time they enter kindergarten, children will have their own library of books and be more prepared to enter school and become readers.<\/p>\n

A total of 1563 children are enrolled overall and more than 28,000 books have already been distributed.<\/p>\n

The Imagination Library was created to address the lack of fundamental literacy skills in preparation for kindergarten. The actual cost to provide this program to the community is approximately $35 per child, per year.<\/p>\n

This tax deductible donation to the Neighbourhood Center, DPIL program will help us continue to grow.<\/p>\n
