The Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library is looking to improve reading skills in the region.
One way they are able to help children is by being a provider of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program. Program team member Bonnie Lynch says the program is great for children aged zero to five years old.

According to Lynch, they are always looking for children to join the free program.
While the program is free for families, there is a cost to the library. Library Director DeeAnna Sova says they rely on donations by businesses and organizations within the county.
