Thank you all for participating in our Youth in Action activities!
Here <\/a>is a short video of some fun we’ve had this summer – Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ready-Set-Read! Videos!<\/strong> Join us for some fun summer activities and weekly readings! <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Elmore County Literacy Project offers books to children in the Elmore County area. Thanks to generous donors, we are able to extend a one time gift of books to the children of Elmore county ages 5 and under. If you would like your child to receive their one time package of books, call our office at 334-567-2252. United Way is now operating the Imagination Library in the River Region<\/a>. If you have any questions, or if we can be of further assistance, please call our office and let us know (334) 567-2252.<\/p>\n In 1996, Dolly Parton launched an exciting new effort, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, to benefit the children of her home county in east Tennessee. Dolly’s vision was to foster a love of reading among her county\u2019s preschool children and their families by providing them with the gift of a specially selected book each month.<\/p>\n By mailing high quality, age-appropriate books directly to their homes, she wanted children to be excited about books and to feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, she could insure that every child would have books, regardless of their family\u2019s income.<\/p>\n In 2008, the Alabama Parent Education Center became an affiliate partner to provide the program\u2019s services to Elmore County children under five years of age.\u00a0 The Imagination Library of Elmore County exists to improve early childhood literacy for Elmore County children.<\/p>\n The program is funded and supported by generous community businesses partners and individual donors.<\/p>\n To see if there is availability in your county, go to imaginationlibrary.com<\/a> and click “check availability.”<\/p>\n\n\n Downloads for Youth in Action Activities:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer Learning and Activity Series Check out our Summer Learning Series!

There is a weekly activity for your child to participate in. We also have book reading\/story time for your child to listen in on. We want to encourage your child to stay active and continue to read. Therefore, we will be hosting readings and offering free resources for you and your child to use.
Call our Office 334-567-2252.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Elmore County Literacy Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you would like to sponsor children and continue this service call our office 334-567-2252. This service runs on donations from people like you. Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\nThe Imagination Library<\/h2>\n
Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Elmore County<\/h3>\n
We are so glad to have been able to offer this service of the Imagination Library to the families of Elmore County. Unfortunately, due to a lack of financial support, we cannot continue this service at the current time. Therefore it is temporarily closed until further notice. \u00a0While this program is completely free for the parent and child, the Alabama Parent Education Center covers the financial costs. At this time, we thank you for understanding our situation. We look forward to one day offering this service to the county again.<\/p>\n
