(Continued from Fairview) estimates that so far only about a third of the county’s eligible children have been registered. “I don’t know what the percentage is that we have now, but I’m going to take a good guess that a third of the children under the age of five in Williamson County are already registered,” Howell said. She said help in getting kids signed up has come from a vari- ety of sources—including from neighboring counties. “We have a fantastic lady in Maury County, our neighboring county—for example she went to Mule Day and had a booth there. And just from that—you know a lot of Williamson County residents attended Mule Day—they saw her booth and they reg- istered, and she was kind enough to send all the Williamson County registration forms back to me,” Howell said. The Books from Birth Program is administered in Williamson County by the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt (the hospital also administers the program in Davidson and Sumner counties). Russanne Buchi-Fotre, a volunteer at Vanderbilt and with Jo’s Reach Out and Read, says Vanderbilt’s role in the effort includes maintaining a database and mailing out the books once a month to children throughout the three-county area. The program is available to all children ages birth to five regardless of income level. Registration forms are available at the Fairview Public Library. Online registration is also offered by going to http://www.vanderbiltchildrens.com/booksfrombirth. Both Howell and Buchi-Fotre agree that one major problem the program has encountered is represented by families who have changed addresses since initially registering their kids. Failure to notify the program of your new address results in your child’s books being returned, which results in program volunteers having to go to local post offices to collect them. “And I’ve been collecting the books, and there’s a lot,” Buchi-Fotre said.
