The Ferst Foundation for Childhood Literacy  is an organization dedicated to getting books and literacy support services into the homes of young children, at absolutely no cost to the family, to prepare all Georgia preschool children for reading and learning success.

In conjunction with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, the Ferst Foundation will provide a free book each month to every registered child in Carroll, Haralson, and Heard Counties under the age of 5.  Every  child under 5 is eligible!    Each  age-appropriate, hard cover book will be  mailed directly to the child. 

The program really works!  In Morgan County, Georgia, where the Ferst Foundation Program has been in place since 2001, the school  system has documented an amazing jump in the number of children who pass the Primary Kindergarten Readiness Test from 45% to 90%.

You can register your children at any public library in Carroll, Haralson, or Heard County.
