THE AUSSIE LIBRARY that Dolly built

FIounded by the iconic country singer with the hugest of hearts, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is unlike any you've ever seen before.

The 77-year-old singing sensation has long spread her love of reading to the world, turning children from big cities to the most remote outback regions into bookworms.

Her philanthropic initiative launched in 1995 and was introduced in Australia in 2013. It ensures high-quality, age-appropriate books are sent by post and gifted to millions of children up to the age of five across the US, Canada, UK, Ireland and Australia every month.
