Wheatland Regional Library Press Release March 13, 2006 The Wheatland Regional Library welcomes the arrival of spring by launching its Books for Babies Project. Starting March 13, 2006, Wheatland Regional Library with the assistance of the Saskatoon Health Region will provide every new born baby in the west central area of rural Saskatchewan with a free board book, library bag, bookmark and library/literacy information. Wheatland Regional Library has funded the project and has put together the reading kits. Public health nurses from the Saskatoon Health Region will provide the kits to the babies during their six month check up at the local health clinic. The Books for Babies Project is the first step in a two tiered project aimed at encouraging families to read to their children and use their public library. As well, Wheatland Regional Library is the first public library system in Saskatchewan to provide this program throughout its entire region. “The project is rather simple and of a small cost, however, it has a far reaching effect for the Wheatland community towards promoting literacy and a love of reading,” comments Library Director Michele Fedyk. Wheatland Regional Library provides library service to rural residents of West-Central Saskatchewan through 46 branches and 142 municipalities covering an area the size of Nova Scotia. It is committed to building strong rural communities by serving information needs, promoting literacy, and developing a love of reading.
