For example, 88% of children who are not reading by kindergarten still struggle with language skills in grade 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Dolly Parton&#8217;s Imagination Library?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dolly Parton\u2019s dream was to foster a love of reading among preschoolers and their families. She wanted to ensure that every child would have access to quality books, regardless of their family\u2019s income. This initiative which launched in 1996 is now a national and global program managed by the Dollywood Foundation and brought to you by United Way Blackhawk Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>United Way Blackhawk Region is committed to childhood development and has made Dolly Parton\u2019s Imagination Library available to families in Beloit, Edgerton and Janesville \u2013 for FREE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does it work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dolly Parton\u2019s Imagination Library mails each enrolled child one high quality, age-appropriate book every month from birth until their 5<sup>th<\/sup> birthday. Many of the families enrolled might not be able to afford such a luxury. To reach as many of these children as possible, you can sponsor a child for $30 a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who chooses the books?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, the esteemed <a href=\"https:\/\/imaginationlibrary.com\/usa\/choosing-our-books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blue Ribbon Book Selection Committee<\/a>, a specially selected panel of<strong> <\/strong>early childhood literacy experts, is responsible for reviewing hundreds of potential titles for<strong> <\/strong>inclusion in Dolly Parton\u2019s Imagination Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who can receive books?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any child, birth to age 5 who lives in Beloit, Edgerton or Janesville is eligible to receive books. However, funding is limited. A waiting list will be instituted when enrollment reaches capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much do the books cost and who pays for the books?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no cost to the families who receive books. Books are paid for by the Dolly Parton Foundation and as the proud local sponsor, United Way Blackhawk Region pays for postage and handling to mail books to children\u2019s homes. Funds are donated by our generous community, through businesses and individual donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I\u2019d like to register my child for Dolly Parton\u2019s Imagination Library!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/liveunitedbr.org\/imagination-library\/register\/\" style=\"background-color:#005191\">Register a child<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I\u2019d like to give the gift of reading by donating to Dolly Parton\u2019s Imagination Library!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that it only costs $30 to support a child\u2019s participation in the program for a year or $150 to support a child from birth to age 5?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donations can be made payable to United Way Blackhawk Region\u2019s Imagination Library by check or you may <a href=\"https:\/\/imaginationlibrary.com\/usa\/affiliate\/WIBLACKHAWK\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">donate online via PayPal<\/a>. <em>(You&#8217;ll be redirected to the Imagination Library website; once there, click PayPal button.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donations will be directed first to children who live in the same community as the donor.
