For three decades, the Alaska Center for the Book has promoted literacy throughout Alaska by celebrating books, creative writing, poetry and author outreach. On this edition of Hometown Alaska, to founding mothers of the Alaska Center for the Book share stories of challenge and success, and let us know what’s in store for the next 30 years.
We also invite a guest librarian from Loussac Library who has been leading a community read, called Anchorage Reads. Their book? Ibram Kendi’s “Stamped from the Beginning: The definitive history of racist ideas in America.” Reading and panel discussions began in February and continue through June.

As always, listeners comments and questions are welcome throughout the program. Join us!
