Good morning, Rogers.

More than 82,000 Arkansas children receive a book each month from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a program that has delivered over 7 million books since 2005 + local hospitals like UAMS and Baptist Health enroll newborns so families can build home libraries and spark a love of reading.

Starting Sept. 1, the City of Rogers will oversee operations at Rogers Activity Center with new staffing and rules.

The center will be closed from Sept. 1 until Sept. 8 for the transition while membership fees remain unchanged and the building stays under nonprofit ownership.

After a judge approved Meta's settlement yesterday, the company agreed to pay up to $18B to add child-safety measures on Facebook+Instagram, with Arkansas set to receive about $172M for children's mental health programs.

Rogers prep football teams open the season with two matchups; the Mounties face North Little Rock today at 7 p.m. with an expected score of 28-24 while Rogers Heritage hosts Camdenton (Mo.) tomorrow at 7 p.m. with a predicted score of 22-21.

Rogers prep teams performed well Tuesday as the volleyball squad won 3-1 over Fort Smith Northside with strong plays from Brynn Denney and teammates, while tennis players secured key singles and doubles wins.

The results signal strong local talent ahead of upcoming competitions.
