It has been along time coming, but a new program for Nashua parents and their babies has finally taken it's first tentative steps!! Reaching out to parents of newborns at our two Nashua hospitals is something I have wanted to do for many years. I made attempts to get funding from area service clubs over the years but never achieved much success. This fall I achieved success when the Friends of the Nashua Public Library granted me $1000. to buy two board book titles! "Books 2 Babies" was finally born and I feel like a giddy new parent!! Working with my colleagues, we put together a really sweet tri-fold flyer that includes a coupon to be redeemed at the library for a free board book as well as info on books we have for parents, good reads for babies, times when we offer our "Babies and Books" storytimes, etc.. I delivered the flyers to the Family Coordinators at both hospitals one week ago today. The flyers will be distributed to new parents in the take home packets that each hospital provides. For now we are waiting expectantly for the first parent to walk through the door with the coupon for the free board book!! I am beaming from ear to ear!!
