English Free, high-quality books for children from birth to age five, no matter their family’s income.
We can help you build a home library of books that will enrich the quality of time you spend with your child.
When a child has access to books they are better prepared for school—and life. Research shows that the number of books in a child’s home is significantly linked to reading scores. The more books, the better the score.
The Imagination Library provides:
- One new, carefully selected book per month for children age 0-5, mailed in the child's name directly to their home at NO COST to the family
- A book sharing guide to help increase interaction between caregivers and children during book time.
- Themes of the books include: love of reading and learning; regard for diversity of people; promotion of self-esteem and confidence.
- Audio and Braille books available
