individual applicant, describe your involvement in the community and your
experience/ expertise as it relates to this project. (Attach separate sheet, if
necessary.)
Imagination Library mails a free, high - quality, brand -new book each month to children from birth
to age 5 who live in communities that support the program. The first book for every child is The
Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper. After that, all books are age- appropriate.
But it's more than a book delivery program; it's a Get- the - Whole- Community - Involved -in-
Reading -to -Kids Program! So our website provides extra resources to make reading to your
child even more enjoyable. And across the state, local committees are adding family nights and
special programs to make the books come alive, too.

2. Describe the project for which you are requesting funding. Include a project
timeline and an explanation of how the project will benefit the community.
(Attach separate sheet, if necessary.)
Greater Kenai / Soldotna Imagination Library has started monthly story times in Kenai
and Soldotna. Originally, these story times were held at Soldotna Public Library.
Recently we added story times in Kenai. The first took place at the Challenger
Learning Center and had approximately 40 people attend. The second is scheduled for
April 15 at the Kenai Fire Station, with another to follow on May 2 at the Kenai Senior
Center.
It is a proven fact that children that are read to before they enter Kindergarten begin
ready to learn. They do better in school and in the community. They learn skills that
they use for the rest of their lives. They are more likely to graduate from high school
and take on jobs within the community.
3. Please complete a simple budget for this project. Grants over $500 must be
approved by the Kenai City Council.
