WASWUG Gives Back -
Let’s Share the Love of Reading!
One of our favorite parts of WASWUG is giving back, and this year we’re excited to partner with Imagination Library of Washington!
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Washington helps spark a love of reading from the very beginning of life. Through Imagination Library, children from birth to age five receive a free book in the mail every month, sent straight to their homes. No cost to families, just the joy of opening a new book again and again.
Their big-picture goal? Making sure every young learner has a home library so they’re inspired to read, ready to learn, and set up for success in school and beyond.
And the impact across Washington is pretty amazing:
- 3.9 million books delivered since 2005
- Nearly 100,000 children receive books every month
- 18% of Washington’s zero-to-five population enrolled
- 74,000 kids have proudly “graduated” from the program
When families have books at home, it creates connections, routines, and a lifelong love of learning.
Join us in spreading more books and more joy!
