On February 12, over 150 Simpson County preschoolers attending the Imagination Library Celebration at Franklin Elementary School to read with Dora, Blue and Clifford the Big Red Dog. The children also registered for the Imagination Library program which is cosponsored by the Franklin Simpson Educational Excellence Foundation, Franklin Rotary Club, and Simpson County Schools. Volunteers from the Franklin Simpson High School and Middle School Beta Clubs were readers, characters and leaders.
By registering for Imagination Library, children may receive a FREE, age-appropriate book each month. Books will be delivered to the child's home within 6-8 weeks. Research proves that having books in the home increase a child's ability to read at an early age.
Thank you to the Franklin-Simpson community for receiving the Imagination Library program with such enthusiasm. Enrollment is ongoing by calling the Family Resource Center at 270-586-2007 or by going online to www.dollysimaginationlibrary.com and following the links for new users.
