The Ballarat Foundation Dolly Parton's Imagination Library delivers books across Ballarat.

The idea is simple: mail children in Ballarat, every month, an appropriate book, especially chosen for their age and developmental stage, for the first five years of their life so that when they get to school, books are already a part of their life.

The research is clear; children who have books around them before they get to school will succeed. Children who have no books, without the love of reading, start the race behind and they never catch up.
