Young Island Readers offers all children born in Yap the opportunity to receive one new, age-appropriate, book through the mail each month until their fifth birthday.
This direct-to-end-user book donation program is based on the fact that access to books in one’s own home before a child enters kindergarten is the strongest indicator of a child’s subsequent reading achievement and interest levels. Young Island Readers is made possible by the Dollywood Foundation’s Imagination Library which partners with local nonprofits to provide age-appropriate books every month to children up to age five.
