“Reams of research tout the many benefits of reading aloud to your children. In fact, I remember reading somewhere that it is the number one modifiable factor we as parents can work on to improve our children’s intelligence. Personally, my children and I cherish the special close quiet time of reading aloud, and the Imagination Library books add such fun, age-appropriate variety to our recreation. My children excitedly retrieve the books from the mailbox themselves (it’s such a treat to get their own mail!). Each book is so thoughtfully chosen, and we have discovered some real treasures in our time with the Imagination Library, like “Miss Maple’s Seeds”. Special stories like this become part of the family mythology, and shape the new generation into literate, curious, and capable beings.” ~Wichita Falls doctor

“We removed television from our Children’s rooms and started reading to them at night or letting them pick a book to read. Now it’s a routine and all of my children spend more time reading than watching tv. Receiving a new book in the mail is an exciting treat for them because the book is always a surprise each month.”

“Since We have signed up , My grandson has got everyone involved into reading . Receiving the books has encouraged our family taking turns in to reading to him and he gets so excited, so we also started going to library to keep him involved with reading.”

“I am a mother to two biological children and I am also a foster parent. The number of kids in my home is often changing, but the one thing that doesn’t change in my home is a love for reading! Every child that comes through my home, including my own, loves to read and look through books. I have seen how helpful they can be in language development, expression of creativity, and even in forming identity. We are so excited for the Imagination Library program in Wichita Falls! Every time we get a new book, all of my kids light up! This program would continue to encourage the joy and love for reading that my kids have and I desire for them!” ~Wichita Falls foster parent
