The Imagination Library has had a profound impact on instilling the love of reading, in children. Starting as a gift for the children in Dolly's hometown of Sevierville, Tennessee, it is now an active program in 5 countries, gifting 1.45 million free, age-appropriate books to children every month. And we are so blessed to have that program running right here, in Southern Manitoba! Winkler is host to the Imagination Library, providing quality books to children from birth to five years old. 

Currently, funds are being raise to support these continued efforts. And as a way of inspiring us to donate, a movie is being released in early December, called "The Library that Dolly Built". 

Judith Baerg provided us with more details:

The facebook movie premiere of "The Library that Dolly Built" is playing on December 9th, 2020 at 6 pm Central. From November 23rd to December 13th, check out the Winkler Family Resource Centre Facebook Page here to help support the dreams of children in our community. A $65 donation will provide one child in Garden Valley School Division with books for one year.
