"The Santa Clara County Library District is partnering with the San Jose Public Library, among others, to bring Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to young readers in the county. This worldwide effort mails free, high-quality, age-appropriate books to children under age 5 every month, with a goal of sparking a lifetime love of reading. Building a home library, reading to children starting at birth, and introducing families to their public library are important ways to help our littlest learners become successful readers, said County Librarian Jennifer Weeks in a release."
"All children under age 5 living in Santa Clara County are invited to be part of the free program. Imagination Library titles are available in English or Spanish. Books arrive approximately eight to 12 weeks after registration, so those who sign up in October will receive their first books in time for the winter holidays. Children will continue to receive a new book every month until their fifth birthday."
