Book Dedications
Each infant of a South Burlington resident has a book dedicated at birth. A letter is sent to the family and the book is placed in the library. This program began in 1990 and each year, in May, there is a Baby Brunch to honor families with their newborns. The Baby Brunch features a storytime, an entertainer, and an elegant brunch. All the books dedicated are on display. Prizes are offered by the Friends of the Library.
Each year, the brunch brings families and children together to meet and make new friends.
