There is some work occurring on the program, but the Imagination Library is continuing to deliver books to all children throughout Madison County, including all participants in our community. Our program is very much still active, and isn't going anywhere.

We apologize for any confusion this has caused, but be assured, books are still coming your way!

If you have any questions, please contact us, we'll be happy to help.
