Born Reader Program
In the Born Reader Program, nurses in the maternity departments at area hospitals distribute the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? in English and in Spanish to their patients. Then, they encourage the parents and caregivers to read to their newborn babies. Inside the book is a brochure with library information, tips on reading to newborns, and a library application for a Born Reader library card. At the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County, we have Born Reader library cards for children 0-5 years old. To find out more about this program and other family literacy programs at the public library, contact Amy Kukla at 704-416-0561 or akukla@plcmc.org. We thank our partners Carolinas HealthCare System and Presbyterian Hospital for their participation in this program.

Featured Resource
If you’re looking for a cute book to read to your preschool age child, look no further. Red Wagon by Renata Liwska is a book about a child who is sent by her mother to the market to get some food. Along the way and on the way back, she is joined by some friends and gets in many adventures. This book is playful and has great illustrations. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
