It's always so heartwarming when we see kids registered for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library on the day of their birth. Knowing that these kids are never going to know a childhood without the joy of reading! #dpil#dollyparton#imaginationlibrary#earlylearning#earlyliteracy
In addition to reading, you can play with your kids during book time. This book has fun facial expressions and movements you could mimic. Also, I am constantly impressed by the quality of the paper that makes it hard to rip. Dedicated kids will still succeed, but they have to work for it! #dpil
Some kids in our Imagination Library were wondering how they can thank Dolly on her birthday. Dolly's birthday is January 19th! It is a great opportunity for your early reader to make a drawing about what reading the books means to them. Add the hashtag #happybirthdaydolly & #unitedwaycountyspokane!
We have an AmeriCorps VISTA position open for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library for those interested in serving their community by bringing books to kids. Learn more here! www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=b...
