Our phones have been busy this week, with so many of you reaching out to ask how to donate locally to the Imagination Library in Dolly Parton's memory. 🦋

We're grateful and honestly a little overwhelmed by the outpouring of love for our little readers here in St. Clair County.

Our local Imagination Library program is funded by St. Clair County RESA, the United Way of St. Clair County, the Community Foundation's Youth Advisory Council and Women's Initiative, and generous donors. If you'd like to honor Dolly this way, you can donate to our endowment fund at https://bit.ly/SupportImaginationLibrary

Thank you to everyone who has called, donated, and thought of our little readers this week. It would make Dolly so happy to know her legacy lives on by providing free books to children right here in St. Clair County. ❤️📚

🐻 👩🏻‍🏫Teacher, teacher, what do you see? 👀 I see children looking at me!

Our Algonac Playgroup brought the story, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? to life today! The kids drew themselves, then helped retell the story using our felt board. So much fun, creativity, and early literacy learning through play!
