About us

We are a local nonprofit in Fairbanks Alaska that provides 4th grade students with lunchtime readings of great stories. We believe that every child should be helped to be successful through improved literacy skills and access to the resources available at libraries. Working together with the school district, children’s librarians, and an army of dedicated volunteers, our mission is to unleash children’s inner readers by presenting reading as fun and exciting.

“Excellent! The books were off the shelf for checkout. They are ‘the best’ according to the 4th grade boys- who now have discovered that reading is fun.”

— Pearl Creek Elementary, Library Associate

“Guys Read is the most best reading program in the world! What time and place is the party?”

— Nordale Elementary, 4th grade guy

“It means a lot to think that we quite literally sat in their same seats in the school library, and our time at U-Park helped shape us into individuals with a love of learning and a smorgasbord of interests – reading is a part of that!”

— University Park Elementary, Volunteer Reader
