Janet Hasselbring will tell us about the Tri-Cities Area Imagination Library (T.A.I.L.), affiliate of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which provides quality, age-appropriate books, FREE, every month to children, birth to age 5, living in the Grand Haven or Spring Lake area school districts. The books are mailed directly from the Dolly Parton Foundation to the children’s homes as gifts, sent with dignity and respect. The early childhood literacy program is designed to inspire and nurture a love of reading in children by establishing a bond with their family and friends — a crucial component of literacy.
