"This program is one of the most important ways I know to improve the educational opportunities for children. Every child has a dream and the seeds of these dreams are often found in books. My Imagination Library aims to inspire children and help turn their dreams into the promise of a bright future."

Together we can give all children in Tamworth a chance to thrive

Tamworth Regional Council and United Way Australia have united to bring Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to children in the Tamworth region. You can partner with us to bring the magic of a library into the home, with a gift of a book every month before school begins. Every child in the program is given real, physical books to keep, and kick start a lifelong love of reading.

We believe in bringing books to homes, where parents are their child's first and most important teacher, creating precious bonds from sharing a book. Putting a book in a child's hands opens a new world to them. While it may seem simple, it's a proven first step towards much more in a child's life, sparking curiosity and building family bonds in the early years.

Research has shown that investing time, effort and resources in the early years of a child's life can have a significant impact on their success as an adult.

Your generous tax deductible donation will encourage children's love of reading and life-long learning. Children will receive a new book free of charge direct to their mail boxes every month until their fifth birthday. Also included are parent tip sheets to help in the shared reading experience.
