The Sambro & Area Community Association (SACA) is dedicated to making our community an even better place to live, work and play.
Our newest initiative is to open the Sambro Imagination Library, dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting monthly books free of charge to children from birth to age five.
Dolly Parton founded Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (DPIL) in 1995 in her home county in Eastern Tennessee and it has explanded to five different countries. Over 2 million books per month are mailed to children, at no cost to them or their families.
The parent organization, DPIL, selects high quality, age appropriate books. They pay for the postage, arrange to have the books sent out every month, and maintain the website where caregivers can enrol children, and supporters can make donations.
Affiliates like us, the Sambro Imagination Library, raise the funds to cover the cost of the books -- about $47 per year, per child. That's one book per month, every month, for every child enrolled, from their birth until their 5th birthday.
Studies show that children who are read to from an early age develop stronger language skills, a richer vocabulary, and a keen sense of curiosity. This will ultimately strengthen our community by providing a great foundation to grow to be active, happy and productive members of society.
Thank you for supporting our efforts as we strive to make our community rich and vibrant on so many different levels!
