 SPIKE & FRIENDS READ ALOUD

Logo featuring Spike reading a book out loud

The Friends of the AHC Library were so proud to be partners in starting a new read-aloud program called “Spike & Friends Reads Aloud"! During the spring and summer, new videos were shared of a book reading and these were be posted on AHC’s social media pages. (The readings will be presented by our wonderful PCPA student readers and Early Childhood Studies students, as well as librarians and other brave readers.) We are working on looking at ways to continue programming for this.

More than ever, reading remains an important part of self-care and intellectual stimulation, as well as a source of calm, comfort, joy, and personal growth. With physical libraries closed across the country, we wanted to remind our community that the library remains here for you, and we are committed to promoting literacy and a  lifelong love of reading and learning. Won’t you join us for a read?
 
Spike & Friends Read Aloud is made impossible through a partnership with PCPA, the AHC Early Childhood Studies program, the Orfalea Children’s Center, and the Friends of the AHC Library. Hear (and view) Spike and friends read aloud by visiting the AHC Facebook page and the AHC Instagram page. New videos will be premiered on Mondays and Fridays. We hope you will join us!
