Free books

If you have a child who was born in 2019, and you live in Southwark, you can get a free book every month.

Your child will receive a book in the post every month until their fifth birthday.

The scheme is part of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.

How to register

Only children with a current Southwark address can register.

You can check availability and register for free books online.

Your child can also get free books as part of the UK’s Bookstart scheme. 

You can read more about Southwark's involvement in the Bookstart scheme on our website.
