Grow a reader at the Ferguson Library
The Ferguson Library encourages you to read to your baby right from the start. Reading helps children build language, literacy, and social-emotional skills. The American Association of Pediatrics recommends reading aloud starting at birth, as it’s never too early to start reading with your baby.
As participants of Baby’s First Books, parents will receive a tote bag along with a folder to keep track of the books they read and listen to with baby. Each child who is read or listens to 100 books by their first birthday will receive a board book as a special gift to keep them enjoying books as they grow.
