"Born to Read"  is a 20-minute lapsit session (for parents and babies in the third trimester to 12 months of age), held

at the Mary Cheney Library. Our next session began in November, 2008.

Please check under Storytime Sign-up in late October for information about our next session, or call  860-645-0577

Remember, all MPL programs are free of charge.

 

Studies have shown that the earlier children are exposed to spoken words and books, the higher their level of success in school and later in life.

Read the research:

-American Library Association's "Born to Read" initiative

-Bonding with Baby: books and materials to start a lifelong love of reading

-Every Child Ready to Read @ Your Library: great info and brochures from the Public Library Association

-National Center for Family Literacy

-Reading is Fundamental: national organization to foster children's literacy from age 0-11
