John and Marge Annan were delightful people, devoted to family and very active in the Onaga community. Among many talents and contributions, John was a barber, a great storyteller, reader and conversationalist. Marge was a beloved childcare provider and librarian. They were loving parents. Their children have established a permanent fund in their memory: a fund to support a Dolly Parton Imagination Library program for all young children who live within the Onaga zip code 66521. This fund is endowed in order to help ensure this children’s literacy resource lasts forever.

The Imagination Library fosters a love of reading and learning in preschool children by mailing them a free, age-appropriate book each month until they turn five years old, regardless of the family’s income.
