In Broadwater County
About the Program
The Imagination Library is a partnership between the Broadwater County Social Services Committee (BCSSC) and the Dollywood Foundation. Every child who is enrolled in the program receives a free age-appropriate book every month from birth until the age of 5. It is open to any child residing in Broadwater County.
In 2022, a survey was done with parents in Broadwater County with children currently enrolled in the program or recent graduates. The survey showed the program is already making a big impact in the community in just three years by increasing reading time, improving kindergarten readiness, promoting family bonding and fostering a love for reading. The survey respondents indicated:
- 9% felt that the Imagination Library has made a positive impact on their family.
- 8% felt their child’s enthusiasm for books has increased since receiving Imagination Library books.
- 6% felt they spend more time reading to their child as a result of the Imagination Library.
- 5% felt that the Imagination Library has helped their child prepare for kindergarten by improving his/her literacy.
BCSSC is raising funds to continue operating the program.
