United Way of Greater St. Louis
2013 Imagination Library Launch
On January 18, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library launched within 19 United Way-funded childcare agencies across the region. Thanks to a $350,000/5-year commitment from Wells Fargo Advisors and the sponsorship for 100 children from the Regional Business Council’s Young Professionals Network, these children will be eligible to participate in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. The 19 agencies serve approximately 2,400 children between birth and age 5 who will be eligible to receive one free book each month as part of the Imagination Library.
The launch event held at Central Library in downtown St. Louis included story time, face painting, balloon animals, and coloring for the children in attendance. In addition, they each received the first book any child is given who signs up for Imagination Library, The Little Engine that Could.
