The Verde Valley Imagination Library celebrated its 5th Anniversary March 23 with a party during Story time at the Sedona Public Library. In addition to stories and games, a special guest dressed as the Cat in the Hat, delighting children. The program has provided five years of free books through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to children infant-aged to Kindergarten. Registration for the program began in March 2012 by the Rotary Club of Sedona with a launch party at Sedona Public Library's two locations in Village of Oak Creek and West Sedona. Soon each registered child began receiving a free, age-appropriate book in the mail from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. After learning about Dolly Parton's IL Program, Rotarian David Simmer, with support of then Youth Services Chair, Jennette Bill, convinced the Rotary Club to establish the project with hope the program would have community support needed to continue in Sedona and grow to neighboring communities. And the support came. Many supporters of the Great Sedona Chili Cook-Off are motivated by the program and have become subscription contributors with monthly or annual contributions.

After learning about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program, Rotarian David Simmer with the support of then Youth Services Chair, Jennette Bill, convinced the Rotary Club to take on the project with the hope that the program would have the community support needed to continue in Sedona and grow to neighboring communities. The support has been wonderful. Many supporters of the Great Sedona Chili Cook-Off are primarily motivated by the Imagination Library program and several people have become subscription contributors with monthly or annual contributions. - See more at: http://sedonarotary.org/Stories/imagination-library-5th-anniversary#sthash.O4vP8woi.dpuf
