One-on-One Participants Receive Baby’s First Book

Each book is packaged in a hand-painted canvas bag which also contains information about the importance of reading to children at an early age.

To quote Christy Williamson, 2001 Bay County Teacher of the Year, “It is my firm belief that daily reading to a child makes the difference in success vs. struggle.” She further adds, “It opens the brain to rich language and conversation between a child and parent.”

In addition to a library card application and a letter from Ms Williamson, the packet also contains an article from the National Association for the Education of Young Children with some tips for families who want to help their children make connections between meaning and words and a list of age appropriate books.

A “Storytimes” schedule from the Bay County Public Library is placed in the packet to encourage mothers to make frequent trips to the library so their children can become acquainted with books at an early age.
