Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is coming to Ventura County. According to the library's website, they mail an age-appropriate book to all registered children, addressed to them, at no cost to the child’s family.
Kathleen Turner is part of an effort to bring Imagination Library to Ventura County.
"Ninety percent of the brain develops in the first three years of life, and it has a very positive impact on the early childhood development and their literacy," Turner explained.
She aims to raise $200,000 from local partners before opening for enrollment.
"44,000 children will be eligible to be in this program all over the county. The legislature will pay for half the books, and then the community partners in Ventura County will pay the other half of the books," Turner said.
