"There is little to fear and so much to gain. Hearing a student say he enjoys reading is the goal,
and it happens more often as the months pass.
I’m confident that he will soon be able to say,
‘I’ll take it from here.'"

–Virginia Noland, Volunteer Tutor

While the Imagination Library negotiates wholesale pricing for the books, the Local Affiliate is responsible for securing funds to cover that cost. Books are 100% free to enrolled children because their Local Affiliate has secured funds to cover the cost of the books and the shipping fees.
