Warren Public Library is distributing My First Library Bag at all four library branches. The bags are available for children from birth through age five who are Warren residents. Children can stop by any Warren Public Library branch with their parents or caregivers to receive a free bag.
The bags for babies from birth through age two include a board book, sensory ball, bib, and a list of library resources in a reusable tote bag. The bags for ages three through five include a picture book, egg shaker, and a growth chart in a reusable tote bag. Bags are available while supplies last.
The bags are designed to help develop early literacy skills by encouraging adults to talk, sing, read, write, and play with young children every day. These early literacy practices help every child get ready to read and succeed when Kindergarten begins.
This project was made possible through an early literacy grant from the Suburban Library Cooperative. The cooperative is a network of 27 public libraries in Southeastern Michigan. https://libcoop.net/slc/
