Families in one Detroit neighborhood will soon be flooded with books for their youngest children. As part of a new program that will be officially announced Tuesday at Munger Elementary School on Detroit’s west side, 100 families will receive as many as 100 books each over the next three years to read to their babies and toddlers. “We’re trying to get at the issue of language development in babies,” said Maura Corrigan, the former chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court.
