Charity Tyler executive director of the Cedar Rapids Public Library Foundation explains how some books that are part of the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library program are printed in Spanish as she shows some of the books at the foundation's offices in the Cedar Rapids Public Library's downtown location in southeast Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Wednesday, March 8, 2018. The program helps children build a love of reading and their personal libraries by mailing one book to their house each month from birth until they turn five years old. Children receive 'Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come!' on their fifth birthday. (Jim Slosiarek/The Gazette)
