The Friends of the Wareham Free Library invite any child who is a resident of Wareham between the ages of birth and 4.5 years old, to join the Imagination Library Program. This monthly book gifting program for children focuses on inspiring a love of books and reading for all infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in our Town. The program is free to all families thanks to our sponsors. We recently received a wonderful donation of $1500 from The Ashley Faye Family Fun Day organization, and at the end of 2020, we raised enough funds during our annual campaign for the program to continue!

Each month, one new book will be mailed to the child once we receive the application form. It takes 8-10 weeks for the enrollment process to be completed, and then the child will receive books until his or her fifth birthday. The Friends are dedicated to this program because we believe that early literacy leads to lifelong learning and future academic success. Reading with a child also forms a bond between families that can last a lifetime.

We are adding a new way to register: Simply email us with your name and address and we will mail you a registration form. Our email address is libraryfriends59@gmail.com

Or, you can request to pick up a form by curbside service at the Wareham Free Library by calling ahead at 508-295-2343. Finally, you can register online at the Imagination Library website here.
