Our mission

The Rotary Foundation helps Rotary members to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty.
Bob Paponetti, President & CEO of the Literacy Cooperative, brought over 400 books that are part of the Imagination Library distribution program. Many are undeliverable for a number of reasons and we helped to unwrap and resticker the returned books so they can be redistributed to children in our community.
 
As the lead affiliate for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Cuyahoga County, The Literacy Cooperative supports this free, book gifting program that mails a brand new, age-appropriate book to enrolled children, every month from birth until five years of age, creating a home library of up to 60 books and instilling a love of books and family reading from an early age.

The future is in good hands! Meet our incoming and outgoing youth exchange students.
