Books for Babies
In an effort to encourage parents to begin reading to their child at an early age, The Memorial Women’s Hospital League personally delivers a copy of “Books for Babies” to all new moms. “Books for Babies” is an anthology of favorite classic nursery rhymes, poetry and stories, printed especially for the mothers of babies born at MemorialCare Center for Women. As each child is presented the story book, the volunteer talks with the parent about the value of beginning to read to a child at birth. Nearly 30,000 mothers and their infants born at the Center for Women have been presented with a copy of “Books for Babies.”
