FIRST LIBRARY®
New CLOTHING and Toys for first time MOTHERs in need with LIBRARY PATRONAGE.
First Library Parent Pledge
First Library’s vision is to give every first born child a foundation for a love of reading and library patronage by actively involving their mothers in the process.
Mothers are asked to read to their child daily and are required to visit their local library monthly.
A yearly parent pledge is required for participation in the First Library program.
Mothers are also asked to complete quarterly reading surveys and biannual questionnaires.

Parents who read to their child while asking minimal questions during reading, and pausing infrequently, had children who did not talk very much. On the other hand, parents who paused frequently during the story had children who asked more questions, talked more, and engaged in conversation.
