How we Help

The Read to Me! program presents parents with a bright yellow canvas bag containing books and literacy resources at the hospital bedside within 24 hours of the birth of their baby.

The yellow canvas gift bag contains:

  • An award-winning video showing how to read to their baby
  • Two high quality baby books
  • An invitation to join the public library
  • A resource booklet on the importance of reading to babies which includes community literacy resources
  • A CD of lullabies and nursery rhymes produced by CBC
  • Discount coupons from local booksellers
