It sounds almost too simple to be true, but by reading regularly
with your children during their preschool years, you are giving
them the biggest boost toward a successful education they will ever
get. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library will help you read with
your child. Every child will have books of their own, at no cost
to you, thanks to United Way of Southwest Michigan and Dolly Parton.
Each month a new, carefully selected book will be mailed in your
child's name directly to your home. Preschool children (birth until
their fifth birthday) of Berrien or Cass County can register. Go
online to register today, or call 269-982-1700 for a registration
form.
