Literacy-what a gift!!

A young mom came in with her 10-month baby because she had been given a coupon for a free library card for her child. She was suprised to find out that kids could get cards no matter how young they were. While making the child's card I asked her if she had a card- an opportunity for one more membership (I thought). She was reluctant to say no and went on telling me that she had difficulties reading. She had read to her little girl as a newborn but now it had become very difficult. I offered her a library card, told about Reading Advantage with contact name and signed out a couple of boardbooks. She left very happy.
