Free Books for Babies
Hi! Everyone- Two libraries are giving free board books to babies! Go to the Children's Desk at Beaverton City Library when you visit the library with your baby (up to 12 months) and receive a free board book. Garden Home Library offers a similar program with the addition of a sippy cup and bib on the next two visits! Friends can subscribe to this newsletter by contacting me at osgriffiths@verizon.net. Current issue is always available at www.suzannesaroundtown.com Happy Reading! Suzanne
