Read Together Regina

Reading to your baby is very important and we want to help you get started. That's why we've partnered with Regina's Mother Baby Unit to give every newborn baby a set of books and resources to help support their early literacy skills development.

Learning is a lifelong journey, and it begins at birth. Research shows that babies who are read to regularly develop the vocabulary and early literacy skills needed for later reading success. The aim of Read Together Regina is to support Regina children in growing strong literacy skills and developing a life-long love of reading.

What is included?

Each bag contains:

A welcome letter from the CEO of Regina Public Library
Two board books for your baby
A month-by-month guide to reading that will take you through your child's first 18 months.
A Creating Young Readers pamphlet
A Rhymes for Babies booklet
A Storytime Starts at Home insert

We want your feedback! Fill out this 2 minute survey if you received a free book bag from the hospital at the birth of your child.

How do I get one?

We provide the family of every baby born at the General Hospital Mother Baby Unit with a Read Together Regina bag. Families from Regina, whose babies were born at home can also request a bag at any of our locations.
