Our Programs
Dymocks Children’s Charities provide three core programs that deliver brand-new books to children in priority locations around Australia:
These programs provide essential literacy resources to children who would otherwise have limited access. The brand-new books we distribute are meant to be taken home, cherished, and shared for years, fostering a lasting love of reading.
Many of the children we support have little or no access to their own books. Barriers such as limited school resources, lack of local libraries, or poorly stocked library collections, combined with financial challenges at home, mean that quality books are often out of reach.
We are committed to providing only brand-new books, selected by the children themselves, along with educational professionals. Book choice is crucial because children, like adults, are more engaged with books that spark their interest and inspire their imagination. Research shows that children are more likely to read books that capture their attention, leading to a lifelong love of reading.
Regular access to quality books is a vital first step toward improving literacy outcomes for all children.

“Most of our students do not have books at home, and we are unable to provide home-readers due to our limited assets. I know the students and families are very grateful to have a first-class school libary. I see some parents come in and just stare at the books. Some parents are illiterate themselves having not had the chance to go to school. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts”
