When you find kids enjoying their summer break, there is a good chance you will find them curling up with a good book.

More than 770 books will be mailed to Door County children next month through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Through the generous support of United Way of Door County and other partners, approximately 95% of children from birth to age 5 participate in the program, which mails books to them each month.

That is far higher than the approximately 30% participation rate Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library officials told United Way of Door County Executive Director Amy Kohnle to expect when the organization first joined the program. Kohnle is happy the community has found ways to get books into the hands of children.

While some communities have placed participation caps on the program, Kohnle said generous donors have allowed any family who wants to sign up to do so.
