Books for Babies

Books for Babies is an initiative that highlights the importance of reading to babies. For over a decade, Dunedin Public Libraries has joined forces with Dunedin Public Hospital to provide a Books for Babies pack for every child lucky enough to be born in our fair city. This wonderful initiative is completely free of charge, and reflects our belief in introducing babies to books at an early age. Each pack contains a distinctive baby picture book, kindly donated by the University Bookshop, along with an information booklet for mother and baby. In addition to advice on hot topics such as modern cloth nappies, the booklet contains a space to record your child’s favourite stories and rhymes, free Library vouchers and a complimentary mother and child swim thanks to Moana Pool.
