Dear Citizens,
We have been
watching the
construction of the
Hurst Euless Bed-
ford Independent
School District
Auxiliary Services
Facilities on Hwy. 10 and now it's
ready for the Grand Opening.
Please welcome them to Euless on
February 1 and take a tour of the
facility.
The Dolly Parton Imagination
Library is a great program that
provides free books to children
under the age of five. Books are
mailed once a month to each
child in the household. What a
great way to get kids excited about
reading!
Read about our great activities
planned during February: a big
band concert at the Library,
multiple events to celebrate
Valentine's Day and a chance to
play golf at a great resident rate.
And don't forget about that new
indoor pool. There are many
opportunities for swim lessons,
aerobics classes or just swimming
and keeping healthy.
Together we continue to Build a
Better Tomorrow for our citizens.

Children's Free Book
Program Expands
in Euless
Started by recording artist Dolly Parton,
Imagination Library is a free national program
that encourages a love of reading in children
and their families. The program mails books
monthly to homes of children from birth to
age 5. United Way established the local
program in 2008 and offers it in ZIP codes
where there is the greatest need. More than
670 children are currently enrolled, and
thousands of local youngsters have
participated through the years.
This fall the program is expanding to benefit
both Euless zip codes: 76039 and 76040.
To sign up your child, please call United Way
at 817-258-8115.
Numerous studies have shown that having
books in the home during the preschool years
helps youngsters prepare to succeed in school.
"I say the earlier you start them off, the better,"
said Pedro Soto of Euless. Pedro recently
signed up his 2 -year-old daughter Cassandra
to receive Imagination Library books. Two
years ago he enrolled older daughters Crystal,
who is now in first grade; and Giselle, a
kindergartener. "It really got them into reading," said
Pedro. "Every month it would be, When is the next
one coming?' It helped them with reading and writing
at school."
Reading the Imagination Library books has been a
family affair. "We'd read together at first," said Pedro.
"I'd read to them and show them basics about
reading. Here lately they start reading on their own
and read out loud to me, with me explaining things to
them when they get in trouble."
Community Partners for the Imagination Library
program include: United Way of Tarrant County,
Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County, Arlington
ISD, Birdville ISD, Fort Worth ISD, Northeast
Leadership Forum, Partners Together for Health (the
foundation for JPS Health Network) and Tarrant
County Child Care Management Services (CCMS)
operated by Child Care Associates.
