Have you ever wished that babies came with an instruction manual?

Gene Gardner, founder of Every Parent’s Library, recognized the privilege, and incredible responsibility of raising a child, and wanted to offer support for families. “I knew that people needed access to information,” said Gene, “but also realized that parents are busy. Videos seemed to be the perfect medium to help people get the skills needed to be great parents.”

Family Nurturing Center joined with the volunteer founders of Every Parent’s Library to expand this FREE program to reach out to more parents.
