SURREY parents who have welcomed a baby to their families this year are invited to come to any Surrey Libraries branch, sign up their baby (or themselves and other family members) for a library card, and to pick up a Read to Baby kit. Inside each kit is a keepsake baby book and information on free literacy programs and services available at Surrey Libraries.
Read to Baby kits introduce families to the importance of early and frequent reading with baby. When babies are engaged in fun, daily literacy activities, they build critical speech and language skills that help prepare them for kindergarten and for lifelong learning.
The Read to Baby kits are made possible by the support of Surrey Libraries donors. One kit per family, while supplies last.
