BY HÉLÈNE MERRITT The libraries of Ottawa-Carleton are preparing for an influx of 10,000 new members. Starting January 1, volunteers in area hospi- tals and local midwives will be distributing cotton book bags to moth- ers of babies born in the year 2000. The bags contain information on the importance of reading to children from day one, and a gift certifi- cate which the family can take to a local library for a free board book for baby. Called 1, 2, 3, Read With Me/1, 2, 3, Lis avec moi, the pro- gram provides books in both official languages.
