Resident plans resurrection of Optimists club
Organization focuses on youth, getting kids to read
DIXON – Michael Murphy knows firsthand how important it is to read.
He regrets not reading much in his youth. Now, he wants to introduce books to Dixon children as early as possible.
The Dixon resident is beginning an Optimists International group with the first project in mind of establishing a Dolly Parton Imagination Library program. The imagination library delivers free books to children from birth until age 5, with an emphasis on learning how to read early in life.
