Did you know that for just $47, you can provide a local child with a full year of high-quality, age-appropriate books delivered straight to their mailbox?
We recently connected with the incredible team behind the Lethbridge chapter of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, and we were blown away by the impact of this program. It is one of the most effective ways to foster a lifelong love of reading, yet the cost to sponsor a child is remarkably low.
How You Can Help
The program relies on the wider community to keep the pages turning. If your children have aged out of the program and you remember the joy those monthly packages brought, consider "paying it forward" for the next generation of readers.
Local businesses, if you are looking for a high-impact, low-cost way to give back to Lethbridge, sponsoring a handful of children is a beautiful way to invest in our city’s future.
Interested in sponsoring a child today?
We are fully committed to supporting this initiative! Keep an eye on The Weekly Wiggle and our upcoming summer events as we will be hosting specific opportunities where proceeds will go directly toward sponsoring local children through the Imagination Library.

The Wiggle Wisdom: A book in the hand of a child is a seed planted for a brighter, more imaginative community. Let’s help those seeds grow!
