Arkansas links Give Like Dolly Day to county-level support for children's books
The state programme reported monthly book delivery to more than 86,000 children before the September 25 campaign.
Arkansas Imagination Library used Give Like Dolly Day to connect a national cultural tribute with county-level support for children's books. In its September 15 announcement, the organisation said more than 86,000 Arkansas children received a free book by mail each month, with the programme available in all 75 counties.
The September 25 campaign offered several ways to take part. Donors could choose which county to support, while families were encouraged to share reading stories or read aloud with a child. Local partners help raise money for books and postage; eligible Arkansas children younger than five can enrol online.
The figures describe the programme's reported reach before the commemorative day, not the number of new children enrolled or funds raised because of it. The county option makes the appeal locally specific, but measuring the campaign's effect would require results beyond this advance announcement.
