Books for Babies
Books for Babies is a program available through the Cold Lake Public Library. When a baby is born in Cold Lake they will receive a coupon for a free board book from the library to start them on the road to early literacy. Parents, if you didn't receive a coupon for your baby from the hospital or during your home birth, drop by either branch of the library to pick up your book.
Baby Rhyme Time
Babies love to wiggle, jiggle, make noises and meet new people! At Baby Rhyme Time we use rhymes and songs that incorporate bounces and tickles that will keep babies entertained and help with their early literacy development. The songs and rhymes will help baby's listening and concentration skills, and the rhyme and repetition of the songs will help develop baby's speech and language. No need to book. For babies ages birth to 18 months.
