Books For Babes

Program Overview

Books for Babes will provide resources and materials to parents and babies during their stay in the maternity ward of community hospitals. New parents will receive a bag with one or two board books to begin their child's at home reading library. They will also receive a tip sheet for reading and talking with
their baby, library resources, and information on how they can continue building their child's library. We utilize volunteers to deliver the reading bags to the new parents and provide training to these volunteers on how to present all of this information to parents in a clear, friendly, and encouraging way.
