IMAGINATION LIBRARY FOR KIDS BIRTH-FIVE
The
Ludlow Rotary Club has partnered with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library
program. This program mails a
free, new, age-appropriate book to children each month from birth through age five
– potentially 60 books per child.
Eligible children are those that reside in Ludlow, Mt Holly, Plymouth,
Cavendish and South Reading, about 250 children. Research shows that children that participate in this type
of program not only do better in kindergarten but also throughout their entire
academic career – a real boost to our kids! Forms for registering children for this program are
available from local preschools and libraries, Peoples United Bank, Berkshire
Bank, and Ludlow Insurance Co.
The
Imagination Library program costs $25 per child per year. The Ludlow Rotary
Club has raised significant funds for this program, but additional funding is
welcome. Parents of children in
the program are not permitted to contribute to the cost of the books because
the books are a gift to the children from the community. Grandparents and others can send
tax-deductible contributions to the LUDLOW AREA ROTARY CHARITABLE FUND, INC.
(with “Imagination Library” in the check memo section), PO BOX 216, LUDLOW, VT
05149.
