Books for Kids

 

Books for Kids is a free program designed to instill the joy of reading in children by providing free books and parenting resources to families who live or work in the greater Mankato, Minnesota area. Reading at an early age has been proven to increase school readiness by developing literacy skills, language patterns, attention spans and creativity. The program is also intended to increase the bond between caregiver and child as they read together. 

 
 

Parenting Counts — Parents of children between the ages of 2 months and 5 years receive a free monthly newsletter filled with parenting tips, child development information and fun activity ideas. 

 

Books for Kids — Children between the ages of 1 year and 5 years receive a free monthly book and the Parenting Counts newsletter. All of the books are provided by Coughlan Cos., a local publisher.

 

Born Learning — Parents periodically receive free Born Learning inserts, which provide extra tips and information to help parents create a happy, healthy and stimulating home for their children. The Born Learning inserts are provided in partnership with Immanuel St. Joseph’s Auxiliary.

Calendar of Events — Parents receive an overview of some of the family-friendly events going on around our community each month.
