Library Program Goes to Maternity Wards

“The First 3R’s: Rock, Rattle and Read,” a Los Angeles Public Library program to encourage children to read, is being implemented in maternity wards of 60 area hospitals under a grant from the California State Library.

Packets to be delivered to new mothers will also include child care information, tips on choosing toys and books and information on the branch libraries’ services for children. The program hopes to reach 100,000 new parents.
