First Board Books for Babies

Cape Cod Reading Council members, Brenda A. Mazzeo and Lynn Moen, were awarded funds to literally put books into the hands of new readers. Their proposal to purchase board books for fifty babies, identified by The Baby Center in Hyannis, Massachusetts, was granted. Six Cape Cod Council members delivered the books. Parents of the babies, who live on the Cape and Islands, were encouraged to read to their children daily. 

Congratulations to our members, who realize the importance of promoting a love for literacy at an early age! This initiative will be expanded next year, when a newsletter and more books will be offered to parents with new babies.
