Good news! Reading can boost your health.

Raise a toast to your book club. Revel in your reading time.

Research shows that, among other things, reading can help you:

• Reduce stress.
• Slow memory loss.
• Feel more connected to others.

As you might guess, reading does even more for the little ones in your life. Did you know children (age 5 and under) in Ketchikan, can receive a free book in the mail each month from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library?

You can sign up a child at the Ketchikan Imagination Library page.
