Parents can now register their children for the new, free Ready 2 Learn card and start saving for college. Ready 2 Learn is a new program for children ages birth to five who live in Umatilla, Morrow, Union, Baker, Grant and Wallowa counties through a part nership with regional li braries, the InterMountain Education Service District, Greater Eastern Oregon Behavioral Health Inc. (GOBHI), Eastern Oregon Coordinated Care Orga nization, and the Institute o f Museum and Library Services. Once parents register their children for the free Ready 2 Learn card, chil dren will have access to a wide variety of books, mov ies, music, fun activities and educational programs through their local libraries. In addition, registration for the Ready 2 Learn card also opens an Oregon College Savings Plan for the child. Each time a child checks out a book or participates in one of the library programs, a small cash amount is cred ited to the child’s college savings account. Each month a child is enrolled in the Ready 2 Learn program, parents will receive a newsletter with information about fun and easy learning ideas. These tips will help parents give their children the building blocks of learning needed to make sure they get off to the best start possible, and could prove beneficial when a child takes the new state wide Kindergarten Readi ness Assessment prior to starting school. In addition, the Ready 2 Learn program will offer free quarterly trainings for parents of reg istered participants. Ready 2 Learn is fund ed by a Library Services and Technology Act grant managed through the Or egon State Library. Addi tional funds are provided by the Oregon College Savings Plan and GOBHI. Parents can register their eligible children for Ready 2 Learn by visiting one o f these regional libraries starting June 17: Pendleton Public Library, Hermiston Public Library, Cook Memorial Library (La Grande), Baker County Library, Enterprise Public Library or the Grant County Public Library.
