Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has arrived at the Taylorville Public Library.  Several hundred kids have already enrolled and have books in their hands thanks to this revolutionary program.  The price tag for the library to host the Imagination Library is steep, so they are calling on the community to help support the cause.  Erin Crommett, Program and Outreach Manager for the Taylorville Public Library, says while she appreciates the high interest in the program, it adds to their expenses.

If you want to donate to the program to help keep it running, there are many ways to send in money, including cash and check.  The library will also host fun events to help raise funds. 

The library would like to see enrollment increase, including from other towns, but that also requires the funding needed to support their involvement. 

Crommett is ecstatic about the reception of the Imagination Library so far.  She adds that an initiative like this is necessary to foster better outcomes in literacy among youth in the area.
