LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Office of Education, Lake County Literacy Task Force and Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake have partnered to promote literacy in Lake County.

“It is through partnerships like this one with the Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake that we continue to provide books and ensure literacy for all residents in Lake County,” said Superintendent Wally Holbrook in reference to the newest partnership with the Lake County Office of Education Literacy Task Force and the Imagination Library program.  

The Literacy Task Force supports literacy for all residents in Lake County.  

One of the four initiatives sponsored by the Literacy Task Force is the Imagination Library, which provides a book a month for each child between the ages of 0-5 who is registered for the program.

Thanks to a partnership with the Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake, they now have more children signed up for this program.  

Books will arrive in the mail each month for a year in the homes of the children registered within the tribe.  

For $25 annually, each child who resides in Lake County and is sponsored by the Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake will receive a book each month.  

The goal of this program is to support families in building the habit of literacy at home with the child’s first teacher: the parent.
