Dolly's Imagination Library Goes to the United Kingdom!!!!
Report by http://www.dollymania.net/:The BBC on Friday promoted Dolly’s upcoming appearance in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, to kick off the first British chapter of her international literacy campaign, the Imagination Library. Read the piece here, and check out a video version of the story as well here. She will be in town on Wednesday for the event. (And don’t be confused by the word “scheme” in the article. In the Queen’s English, the word has a neutral connotation rather than the negative overtones that most Americans associate with it.) In other Library news, the addition of Forsyth County, Ga., is observed in Access North Georgia here (noting that a foundation there aims to have the program statewide by 2010 -- presently, Dolly’s native Tennessee is the only state to offer it in every county), but on a less positive note, The Fergus Falls Journal in Minnesota on Friday noted that its Otter Tail County chapter is suspending operations for six months due to lack of funding for the local share of the program with the hope to start up again in six months. More than 17,000 books have been distributed there, the story reported here

This is a story of a 3 year old named Hannah. Hannah went to the library for the first time with her mom, Dawn. Walking hand and hand, Hannah said to her mom. "Mommy I am so excited, just look at my face." Dawn looked at her face and she was grinning from ear to ear. I am excited to read about this program for children. I am sure the books they receive make them grin from ear to ear too.
