Earlier this year the Dolly Parton Imagination Library released its National Impact Report which reports on the changes for children and their families after they have received the Imagination Library for 12 months. It shows that children enrolled in Imagination Library are read to more regularly and have significantly more books in the home than other Australian children. 83% of caregivers reported that the importance they place on reading had increased and 90% reported spending more quality time together as a family reading.
Clubs of the Illawarra support this programme and to date we have delivered 23,950 books to local children.
