How does the program work?

Families enroll their children at birth, or any time after birth through age 5, through United Way of Larimer County. Every month until age 5, a free age-appropriate book is mailed directly to the child’s home with the child’s name on the envelope.

Why Should I Participate?

Books in the home have been consistently proven to be an indicator of a child’s academic success. 90% of brain development occurs by age 5. Research shows between 66% and 75% of families read more to their children after receiving the Imagination Library books. Most importantly, children develop a lifelong love of learning and reading.
