Dear Imagination Library Family,
We are sad to announce that we have suspended our Imagination Library program temporarily. We have an 18-year tradition of supporting this program. Each year more than 2,500 children ages 0-5 across West Central Minnesota receive book deliveries straight to their mailboxes, through the Imagination Library program. This program is very important to us and our community. The decision to suspend the program was a very difficult one. We are hoping to have this program running again within a few months as we understand the impact it has on you and many others in our community.
The cost of one year of books averages $30 per child, but how it shapes your child's future is immeasurable! A child who is read to for 20 minutes per day encounters about 1.8 million words per year! We recognize the impact this has on your family, and we are working hard on securing funding to resume programming as soon as possible. Remember, this program is completely free to all children ages 0-5 and is only possible with the support of our community! It is important to us that this program remains free for all registrations. If you or someone you love would be willing to financially support this program, donate here.
Sincerely,
Seyward Ask
Executive Director
