Imagine if every child in Broomfield entered school with a love of reading and ready to learn. The Broomfield Rotary is partnering with local individuals and businesses to achieve just that by bringing Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to Broomfield Colorado. From birth until a child's 5th birthday, children enrolled in the program receive a new, age-appropriate book mailed to their home every month. By the time these children enter kindergarten, they have their own library of books, are more prepared to enter school, and excited about reading. All families in Broomfield with children birth to age five are eligible to enroll.

By raising $25,000, we can offer the Imagination the Library program to all children under five in Broomfield. A mere $25 will ensure that a local child receives a free book delivered to their home every month for an entire year.
