SPIKE & FRIENDS READ ALOUD
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.
