Fairbanks Native Association

The Fairbanks Native Association Cultural Library—which serves Native peoples in the urban areas of Fairbanks, Alaska—plans to purchase additional materials and supplies to support its “Reading by Third Grade” campaign. It will acquire Alaska Native/American Indian (AN/AI) culturally relevant materials and materials by AN/AI writers or illustrators. To identify and facilitate this process, staff will access resources such as the Alaska Native Knowledge Network and the Alaska Division of Libraries, Archives, and Museums’ “Books by Alaska Native authors for Alaska Book Week.” To familiarize the community with the newly acquired resources, the library will host quarterly family night events.
