Dolly Parton's Imagination Library brings books to children's homes. From birth until they turn five years old, children enrolled in the program will receive a new, age-appropriate book mailed to their home each month.
By the time they enter kindergarten, children will have their own library of books and be more prepared to enter school and become readers.
The program is off to a great start! Over 65 children are enrolled in the program to date.
This program will affect the children ages 0-5 in the 67550 and 67526 zip code.
Special thanks to UWCK, Pamida, Kiwanis and Debbie Gore from the Jordaan Library for their generous support to the program.
Special thanks to CPI Barton County Endowment committee,Ellinwood Public Educaton & Library Foundation and United Way for their contributions.

Nonprofits like United Way and various government agencies provide excellent programs to support people in need. The problem: The people who need these programs often don’t know they exist.
This is why United Way supports the Calling for 2-1-1 Act. The bill would create a national social service hotline, 2-1-1, to help people find organizations that can help them.
There are already 240 active 2-1-1 call centers in 46 states, but they lack the resources needed to build an adequate telecommunications infrastructure, provide appropriate staff levels and training, establish or maintain 24-hour-a-day service, ensure complete and accurate informational databases, and reach rural populations. The Calling for 2-1-1 Act would provide funding necessary to meet these needs.
While there is significant support for the bill, we need your help to ensure that legislators view passage of the bill as a priority and get it done.
