Babies and Books is a free, drop-in early literacy program offered by the Cape Breton Regional Library for babies (between 0-18 months) and caregivers. This program introduces babies and their caregivers to simple stories, songs, rhymes, and play and providing a mix of early literacy and social time for babies and caregivers.
Did you know that reading aloud is one of the most powerful ways to support early language development? Listening to the tone, rhythm and inflections of stories read aloud helps babies to build a sound map long before they can read. Let us help you get a head start on language and literacy in a fun and supportive environment.
