Each book contains a book plate marking the special event. The baby's family also will receive a letter informing them of the donation. Most recently, the board book "Hey, Diddle Diddle" was donated to celebrate the birth of Josiah Gabriel Navarro, son of Leilani and Francisco, and the board Book "Numbers" was donated to celebrate the birth of Edward Makovetskey, son of Pavel and Lyudmila. Birth information should be directed to Library Director Robert J. Lifka.
