Fort St. John Co-Op Association Supports Imagination Library
May 5, 2021
We would like to extend a big Thank YOU to the Fort St. John Co-Op Association for their continued support of literacy in our community! This donation will go towards our Dolly Parton Imagination Library children’s book program.
This program aims to make a lasting change in the lives of children, and to give every child in the community an equal chance for a brighter future through not only the development of literacy skills, but by strengthening family bonds through the sharing of the stories. Children between the ages 0-5 in our area are eligible to receive a book a month until their 5th birthday, giving the potential of a 60 book library by the time they are 5.
To date we have been able to distribute over 22,000 books to our community and are so thankful to all those who have answered our call and helped us keep this program alive!!
Enrollment forms can be found at the Fort St. John Literacy Society’s office and website. Alternatively, parents can enroll their children online at: www.imaginationlibrary.com/ca/affiliate/BCFORTSTJOHN/
