Launch event for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Tuesday

The Northern Nevada Reading Coalition is hosting a launch event in partnership with Churchill County Library on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. to celebrate the expansion of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library across Churchill County.

The event will take place at the Churchill County Library, 553 S. Maine St., in Fallon, and will begin with a read-aloud and a family-friendly craft activity. Remarks will be made by Nevada Department of Education superintendent Jhone Ebert and United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra Chief impact officer Kelly Stevens.

Digital sign-up stations will be available so families can enroll their children in the free program at the event. Light refreshments will be available.

Families with children younger than five years old are encouraged to register their child. Enrolled children will receive a book selection once a month until their fifth birthday, at which point they will “graduate” from the program.

To qualify, families must reside in one of the following 13 counties: Washoe, Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Humboldt, Eureka, Lander, Lyon, Mineral, Pershing, Storey, and Carson City.
