How to go about adding kid's books to the registry?

I'm considering putting something like this in the "message" part of the registry:

A and L are looking forward to sharing their love of stories with the baby, and would enjoy having your help in building a library for their new arrival!

I just want people to know that we would really appreciate kid's books, even though there aren't any specific titles on the registry.

    Honestly, I would just add the individual books to the registry if I were you, or I would expect that you'll end up with alot of the same ones, and potentially without gift receipts (I probably wouldn't bother giving a gift receipt if I bought you a book for you at Barnes & Noble, or TJ Maxx for example).  Are you registering at Target or somewhere similar where it would be easy to add on books?  This is our first baby, so of course I don't know how it'll work out-but I would just imagine that you'll otherwise end up with several copies of the most popular books, like Goodnight Moon, Pat the Bunny, Dr. Seuss, etc.

    I registered at Target and BRU and added the actual books to my registry.

    We are registered at BRU and Target too and we just added books to ours as well...I have pretty much every Berenstein Bears book, b/c those were my favorites growing up! I want my daughter to love reading as much as I do so I would love for her to get way more books then toys to be honest! =}

    We didn't have any on our registry for DS#1, but the invitations to the babyshower said something like "Instead of a card, please sign a book".  I can remember the exact wording but it was cute.

    Most people didn't really get that a small book was supposed to be instead of a card, they just bought us tons of books.

    I'm really big on having lots of books for the baby. I added some to the registry. Also, my mom is throwing me a shower and inside the invite she added a little note so that people bring a book. It says...

    We can't wait to see you at the shower
    When (mom-to-be's name) will be the woman of the hour
    We have one request we hope isn't too hard
    Please sign your name to a book instead of a card
    Then mom and dad will be ready when the baby arrives
    To read to their darling for the rest of their lives
