Are you expecting a new baby? Make sure to pick up your free bag of books for your little one!

Books for Babies has been giving book bags to new parents in the Cariboo-Chilcotin since 2001.  Babies love to hear their parents’ voice and books give them something to talk about.  When read over and over and over again, a good story gives children the chance to learn language. 

In Williams Lake, the maternity ward nurses deliver book bags to new parents while they are still in the hospital.  In 100 Mile House, the health nurses give book bags to parents of newborns.  Each Books for Babies bag contains community information for new parents and books to share with their baby. 

Books for Babies is funded by the Williams Lake and District Credit Union
