Chanhassen Rotary Launches Imagination Library Program in the SouthWest Metro
The Chanhassen Rotary is bringing the joy of reading to local families with the launch of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Carver County. This program provides free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, fostering early literacy and a lifelong love of reading.
Through this initiative, eligible families in the ZIPs of 55315, 55317, 55318, 55386 and 55331 can register to receive a new book mailed directly to their home each month at no cost. The program is part of the global effort led by Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which has distributed over 200 million books to children worldwide since its inception in 1995.
We are thrilled to help bring this wonderful program to our community. Books have the power to ignite imagination and open doors to a brighter future for our youngest readers. In just two months we have enrolled over 800 children.
Families interested in enrolling can visit the SouthWest Metro Imagination Library page. If you or your organization would like to help grow and maintain this program, donations are accepted here.
Chanhassen Rotarians Rally to Rake for Neighbors
On a perfect fall day, the Chanhassen Rotary Club gathered to lend a hand — and a rake — to help neighbors with their seasonal yard work. Club members came together to assist five families with clearing leaves and tidying up yards, creating a sense of community and support. The event was made even more special by Sharlene Downs, who provided treats to kick off the morning and lunch to wrap up the afternoon. This annual initiative beautifies the community and strengthens bonds among neighbors, showcasing the Rotary's commitment to service and camaraderie in Chanhassen.
