Wright’s Furniture & Flooring has joined a funding initiative to provide books to kids in Dieterich and Montrose.  Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a program which mails books to children as old as five.  Its goal is to foster skills and enjoyment in literacy in kids early in their lives.  The organization – which the country music star founded in 1995 – has distributed over 270 million books around the world. 

A committee looking to bring the Imagination Library to Dieterich and Montrose says it has raised around $1,800 of the $3,000 needed.  A large portion of the funding so far has come from Wright’s Furniture & Flooring.  The committee hopes to reach its goal by Independence Day.  Kelly Frohning, who is a member of the committee, says she is grateful for Wright’s Furniture & Flooring’s support of the initiative.
