Read to Succeed Buffalo is Bringing
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to Buffalo!

Read to Succeed, with the support of the Rotary Foundation of Buffalo, is bringing Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to children under age five living in zip code 14215!

Your child is eligible:

• From birth until he or she is 60 months (five years) old
• If he or she resides in the 14215 zip code on Buffalo's East side
  

Country music star and literacy advocate Dolly Parton created the Imagination Library to provide free books to disadvantaged children to foster a love of reading and to improve literacy skills among young children!

Each month all registered children from birth to age five will receive a new, age-appropriate book through the mail that will be theirs to keep! The child will continue to receive a free book every month until their fifth birthday - that's 60 books if a child is registered in the program from birth! This is a great way for children to start creating their own library at home.

Books in the Home Make A Difference!

Research shows that children who grow up with books in their home typically reach higher education levels. A love of reading begins at home with an adult sharing story time with a child or group of children or by an older brother or sister reading to younger siblings. For children in the 14215 zip code in Buffalo, this is an opportunity to make reading fun and to make story-telling come alive with a new story each month!

Without early literacy skills, many children will struggle as they begin school. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library will provide new books to children in one of Buffalo's largest neighborhoods allowing children and families to start creating a culture of literacy at home.
