Explore & Develop fundraising for Imagination Library


An Imagination Library brings the magic of a library into the home with the gift of a book every month before school begins, supporting parents as their child's first and most important teacher and taking a proven first step towards much more in a child's life. 

Explore & Develop North Ryde and Macquarie Park support Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and are raising funds for the program here in Greater Western Sydney.

Your support will help Dolly Parton's dream of giving every child the chance to build a love of reading become a reality in Australia!

In fact making sure a five year old has basic literacy skills can address one of the root causes of poverty in Australia today.

For $10/month or $120 they and their parents can benefit from a year's worth of reading support

By donating the cost of a book today, you are giving the best gift there is. 

 

What is Dolly Parton's Imagination Library?

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library™ is a monthly home book delivery program for children from birth to their fifth birthday.  It is based on the fact that the more books in the home, the better the educational outcomes for children.  It also underpins the philosophy of the parent (or primary carer) as a child’s first educator.

Each book is specially chosen by early childhood education specialists thanks to our book partners Penguin Random House and Wombat books. Parents and carers also receive a tip sheet with advice on how to bring the stories to life, and how to extend the language and learning from each book. This ensures children begin acquiring vital literacy skills from birth, including how to identify letters, numbers and shapes, story comprehension, and how to handle books.

United Way Australia is licenced to lead Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in Australia with over 50 partner organisations and locations. Together, we have reached over 10,000 children and sent out over 220,000 books.
