Literacy Council of Alaska - Lending Libraries

Head Start Lending Libraries (HSLL)

The Literacy Council of Alaska provides free

books for Head Start children statewide! The

Head Start Lending Libraries are classroom

libraries where Head Start children and their

families can check books out, take them home,

and return them to their classroom when they

are through with them.

LCA sends books to participating Head Start

classrooms so that children and their families

will always have books to bring home so that

they can read together. Children who have

books in their home and parents who read to

them are better prepared for school.

HSLL Partners

LCA has partnered with Head Starts operated by Tanana Chiefs Conference, Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association, CCS Early Learning and RurAL CAP. Communities currently served include: Chugiak, Ft. Yukon, Holy Cross, Huslia, Kaltag, Kluti-Kaah, McGrath, Meadow Lakes, Nenana, Nulato, Palmer, St. Paul, Sand Point, Tanana, Tetlin. Unalaska and Wasilla.

Sending the Books

Once the books are clean, they are then packed and taken to the post office or to one of our participating airline partners, Frontier Flying Service and Wright Air, who regularly donate their time and space to get books to those in need across Alaska.
