The Baby Book program began in 1994 when the Executive Director, Helen Crunick, envisioned a need for a project which would help break the cycle of inter-generational illiteracy.
The Baby Book Bag project features tote bags which are prepared by community volunteers; screen-printed with a special logo; filled with a children’s board book, community library listings, and literature outlining the importance of reading to babies from birth.
If your organization would like to sponsor this program, your logo will be featured on the bags too. By working with new mothers instilling the importance of reading, the Literacy Council attempts to address the problem at its earliest stage.
Over the years, the Literacy Council has distributed more than 27,000 Baby Book Bags to new mothers in our community.
If you or your organization would like to volunteer to assist with preparing the Baby Books Bags please call (724) 228-6188 or email jessica@lcswpa.org.
Pi Beta Phi Zeta Chapter of Washington & Jefferson College awarded the Literacy Council with a generous grant of 500 books from First Book and prepared Baby Book Bags for their Philanthropy Day.
Women in Energy, an EQT Employee Resource Group prepared over 400 Baby Book Bags on July 17, 2018.
