Help LVK expand our reach to recruit families in Kennebec County, Maine to enroll children 0-5 to receive books monthly at no cost to the family through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Our intent is to reach all families regardless of income, so their young children can have opportunities to be exposed to books and reading to help support early brain development and school readiness. Volunteers can help by sharing information in their local communities and in helping families register for the program. Only a brief orientation is required.
