Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Australia is a free book gifting program devoted to inspiring a love of reading in the hearts of children everywhere. Each month, enrolled children receive a high-quality, age-appropriate book in the mail free of charge. The books will come accompanied by a family “tip sheet”, also being translated in various languages, which will help families engage with the book in ways that drive language development and early literacy.

In partnership with Fairfield City Council, the Imagination Library supports the first 2000 days of life model by providing books and literacy resources from birth until a child is aged 5.
