Books and Babies Program

[Jo-Anne Cooper <wpl1@INCENTRE.NET>]

I am investigating the possibility of applying for a grant to run a
"Books for Babies" Program.  The children's programmer and myself would
like to run a weekly program with parents with babies and young
toddlers.  We would do Mother Goose rhymes, simple songs, and board
books etc.  We would also try to greatly expand our board book and
nursery rhyme collections as well as books for the parents on the
importance of reading to your children.  Hopefully we could also produce
hand-outs and tip sheets for the parents.  Are you currently running
such a program?  How have you structured your program?  Could you
suggest articles or books on this topic or literature that cites the
importance of reading to young children?  Do you have any brochures
about your program that you could mail me?   Thanks for your input.
