Northern Nevada Reading Coalition enrolling kids to receive free books

RENO, Nev. — The Northern Nevada Reading Coalition, an alliance of community partners that is committed to early childhood literacy in Nevada, is expanding Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to 13 counties across northern Nevada. The Imagination Library is the flagship program of the Dollywood Foundation and mails free, high-quality, age-appropriate books to enrolled children from birth until their fifth birthday, regardless of their family’s income. Enrollment opened Sept. 1 and is made possible through the joint efforts of the Northern Nevada Reading Coalition, United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra (UWNNS), and Nevada state legislators.
