The Davis Education Foundation is working to build a foundation for early literacy in Davis County through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, according to a report published October 9. The program aims to provide families with more opportunities to read together and build home libraries.
As a local program partner, the Davis Education Foundation helps children from birth to age 5 receive a free, age-appropriate book mailed directly to their homes every month. These early experiences with books are intended to help children develop language skills, explore new ideas, and build a positive relationship with reading before starting kindergarten. By making books more accessible, the program supports early learning and prepares children for future educational steps.
Community support and donations help fund books for participating children, allowing more families in Davis County to share stories. Families can learn more about the program, enroll eligible children, or donate through the Davis Education Foundation’s early literacy page.
