September is Literacy Month for Rotary International, “More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17 percent of the world's adult population. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. We support education for all children and literacy for children and adults.”
 
Ludlow Rotary Club’s ongoing Literacy project is The Dolly Parton Imagination Library program. This program targets youth ages birth until their 5th birthday. Each child in a household meeting these age limits will receive 1 free book a month written by well know authors.  That’s 60 books in 5 years!  Studies prove that children who participate in early childhood literacy programs are better prepared for better in kindergarten and throughout their academic career.  The enclosure, Dolly Parton and the Ludlow Rotary Club, explains this program in more detail.  The only eligibility criteria are that the child be a resident of Ludlow, Mt. Holly, Plymouth, Cavendish, Proctorsville or Reading and age restriction from birth until their 5th birthday.
 
To participate in the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, please complete a registration form and mail it to the Ludlow Rotary Club at PO Box 216, Ludlow, VT 05149.  The registration form is available at Fletcher Memorial Library. If you want to save a stamp, you may return your completed form to the library, M&T Bank (Ludlow only) or the Ludlow Insurance Agency.
 
The signature book of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library is "The Little Engine That Could".  Register your children today!  We knew you could!  All registration information is held in strict privacy and is only used to ensure the children actually receive their books. This program is free and fully funded by the Ludlow Rotary Club through your support at our community fundraising events.  Have fun - enjoy sharing the gift of Imagination, Travel and Knowledge with your children while improving their reading skills.
