"Born to Read" @ MPL
...because babies need books!
"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.

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.
