Celebrating a Decade of Free Books for Kids Town at Warren General Hospital

Warren General Hospital recently celebrated a heartwarming milestone as Free Books for Kids Town marked ten years of partnership. This nonprofit organization has been on a mission to put books in the hands of new families, ensuring that every newborn in the maternity ward goes home with a free book. The initiative not only promotes early literacy but also fosters a love for reading from day one.

At a special luncheon, founder Ruby Wiles expressed gratitude for the unwavering support of hospital staff, including CEO Dan Grolemund, who highlighted the program’s importance in connecting with the community. Maternity nurse Charlene Fohre added her delight, stating that the nurses find joy in giving these books to families. It's pretty clear that this collaboration has struck a chord; it's like giving children a head start towards a brighter future.

Looking ahead, both Free Books for Kids Town and Warren General Hospital are committed to continuing this wonderful initiative. Who would've thought that a simple book could be the key to unlocking lifelong learning? One thing's for sure: children deserve every page of adventure!
