That’s approximately what it costs to provide one Laurens County child with an entire year of Imagination Library books.

Twelve books.
Twelve trips to the mailbox.
Twelve opportunities for a family to read together.

For about $2.70 a month, you can help create a reader. ❤️

Why are we working 9 to 5 for early childhood literacy?

Because learning begins LONG before kindergarten. ❤️

Reading together helps young children develop vocabulary, language, listening skills, imagination, and a love of learning.

And when a brand-new book arrives in the mailbox with a child’s name on it?

That book belongs to THEM. 📬📚

Help us keep those special deliveries coming!

Wow, we had a truly remarkable and highly engaged group of child care providers at our most recent training class, which was a huge success! Tammy Compton from Palmetto Shared Services presented an informative and engaging session, "Active Supervision: Preventing Incidents Before They Occur".

Thank you to all of the dedicated child care professionals that attended and participated in this important class. LCFS is proud to provide free, quality child care training classes here in Laurens County.
