"By mailing high quality, age-appropriate books directly to their homes, Dolly Parton wanted children to be excited about books and to feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, she could insure that every child would have books, regardless of their family’s income."<p>Now, over 1600 local communities provide the Imagination Library to almost 700,000 children each and every month, and nearly 40,000,000 books mailed to children in the United States, into Canada and across the proverbial pond into the United Kingdom!<p>The program is open-source, you can replicate this program in your area. I hope you'd check it out and lend them a hand if you can.
