Cathy Mize: On Books That Build A Better Future: A New Chapter For Putnam Reads

What do Dolly Parton, Putnam County and reading have in common? You’ll find out on today’s show, as Cathy Mize & I talk about Putnam Reads. Putnam Reads has a mission to ensure the availability of quality books in the home so that parents can read to their children.

The group was previously part of Ferst Readers, but is now partnered with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which has helped to significantly reduce their cost of providing the books.

Cathy will tell us the history of the organization, explain the recent changes and most importantly, talk about the important work they do in our community! There is nothing more important than ensuring that our children are equipped to start school with reading proficiency.

You’ll also hear updates on upcoming events and how you may be able to help out this worthy organization in some of the good work they are doing!
