Children’s librarian and author, Nancy De Salvo, points out in her book, Beginning with Books; Library Programming for Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers, that “infant programs are parent programs. Though constantly bombarded with advice from experts, parents need to know how to choose what is right for their children. Many need help with how to interact with their children. They need assistance with selecting appropriate materials for their children. The children’s librarian, in the non-threatening atmosphere of a public library, can be the one to provide these important services.”[i]
