We hope that you enjoy this collection of book readings by Erie patients, team members, friends, and neighbors. We created this series to share our community's love for reading and also raise awareness and support for Erie's Reach Out and Read program, which provides patients ages six months to six years with a book at their well-child visits.
Building early habits around reading is critical for success in school and beyond, and it strengthens bonds between children and their parents. But for many Erie families, access to books can be a challenge. You can help!
