Thanks to the generous gift from Thomas Bangasser, Africatown Community Land Trust (ACLT) has launched a partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to increase youth literacy in the greater Seattle area.

 

Recognizing that over 90% of language development occurs in the first few years of life, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library prioritizes providing access to young readers by getting age-appropriate books into the hands of enrolled children and their families via mail. This service is provided to children regardless of household income.
