Heights Family Foundation Provides Free Books for Ages 0-5

January 20, 2015
Imagine for the first 5 years of your child's life, they receive a free book in the mail every month. By the time they are 5, they have an established library of 60 books!

Heights Family Foundation is a new local non-profit that is committed to early childhood literacy initiatives in Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights and University Heights. At present we are sponsoring the enrollment of children in the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program. This program mails an age-appropriate book per month to each enrolled child. Children are eligible from birth through their fifth birthday. All children who reside in Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights and University Heights are welcome to register.  

We dream of expanding our Dolly Parton Imagination Library patronage into other adjacent municipalities in Cuyahoga County as our funding and fundraising allow. Our charter also allows us to delve into other aspects of children's cultural and literacy education, and we hope to expand our operations beyond the DPIL in future years.
