NORMAN, Oklahoma – New parents at Norman Regional's HealthPlex will be leaving the hospital with more than a new baby. They will also receive a brand new book.

Altrusa International, a women's service organization, and Copelin's Toy Zone, donated the books to the HealthPlex

Altrusa hopes to promote family reading at an early age. More than 125 books were donated to the hospital. The book is a touch-and-feel book titled, "That's Not My Teddy."

The two organizations have partnered to donate books to Norman Regional and its new parents for the past seven years.

Nurses in the HealthPlex's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit gratefully accepted the books and will pass them out to new parents.
