Lela's Library

What is Lela’s Library? 📚💜

Lela’s Library is a donation-based initiative dedicated to bringing the comfort and connection of books to families in the NICU.

We believe that even in the most difficult moments, a simple book can provide peace, bonding, and a sense of normalcy.

Through the generosity of our family, friends, and community, we provide carefully selected books to multiple hospitals—and we’re continuing to grow.

Every book donated helps us place love, comfort, and connection into the hands of families who need it most.

Welcome to Lela’s Library—we’re so glad you’re here!

We are excited to announce that Lela’s Library is now partnering with two new hospitals in MS — Merit Health Woman’s Hospital and Baptist Medical Center!

A huge thank you to Chapel of the Cross Church for sponsoring these hospitals and helping us expand Lela’s Library Memorial. Because of your generosity, we are able to continue sharing the gift of books and the love of reading with even more NICU families.

We are grateful for this incredible growth and look forward to expanding into other NICUs in the area and beyond, bringing comfort, connection, and hope!
