Imagination Library expands throughout Verde Valley

 
Thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Arizona Community Foundation, the club's Imagination Library program can now provide books to children throughout the Verde Valley. This start-up funding has prompted the Rotary Club of the Verde Valley (in Clarkdale/ Cottonwood) and the Rotary Club of Sedona Red Rocks to help register children for the program and develop a plan for future funding.

Imagination Library launch events at Verde Valley libraries

Libraries in Clarkdale, Cottonwood and Camp Verde have teamed up with the Sedona and Beaver Creek Libraries as the primary locations for parents to register children. Northern Arizona Healthcare is helping to register all newborns in the Verde Valley. Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and Project Head Start (both federal programs focusing on the well-being and development of children under five years old) will expand their efforts to register children. Dr. Jean Barton now chairs the Imagination Library Committee, which is made up of volunteers from each of the three Verde Valley Rotary Clubs. Parents can register their children at any area library or online at imaginationlibrary.com or attend upcoming launch events to be held Aug. 20, 10 to 12 noon at libraries in Camp Verde, Clarkdale and Cottonwood. If you would like to volunteer at any of the launch events please contact Jean.

LeRoy Townsend recognized 

Club President Jennette Bill recognized LeRoy Townsend for setting up and manning the front desk. Jennette presented LeRoy with a "Lend a Hand" pin for his dedicated service. Great job LeRoy!
