We are incredibly grateful to the Sigourney Ministerial Alliance and everyone who contributed to the July 5th Ecumenical Church Service offering!

The Keokuk County Dolly Parton Imagination Library was chosen as the organization for the offering, and we are so excited to share that $1,580 was raised!

This generous gift will help us continue putting more books into the hands of children across Keokuk County and encouraging a love of reading from an early age.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support of our local children and families. We are so thankful for a community that believes in the power of a good book!
