“This is an investment at a small level, which can have a huge impact on the early development of a child’s life, and produce far better outcomes in their adulthood.'
Belfast is to have a pilot for the popular Dolly Parton Imagination Library, which provides a free new book each month for children up to five years old.
It adds the council “is concerned about the rising cost of living which will limit the ability of families to pay for essential educational resources like books for young children”. The Imagination Library website states: “Each month, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library mails a high quality, age appropriate book to all registered children, addressed to them, at no cost to the child’s family.
“This is an investment at a small level, which can have a huge impact on the early development of a child’s life, and produce far better outcomes in their adulthood. There is a wealth of research behind that statement, it is not just hazarding a guess.”
