State Summer Reading Program

The Alaska State Library sponsors a statewide summer reading program by providing an iRead summer reading resource guide and purchase codes for summer reading materials to each library participating in the statewide program. At the conclusion of the summer reading program, participating libraries complete and submit a summer reading program report and evaluation. The information from evaluations helps the Alaska State Library meet federal grant requirements.

Summer Food Service Program (SFSP)

Learn more about SFSP here.

  • Your library can be part of the solution to childhood hunger. Become an SFSP site or partner with existing sites, publicize the program, and connect your young patrons to healthy food.
  • The SFSP has higher reimbursement rates than any other Child Nutrition Program, yet it is one of the most under-utilized federal assistance programs.

Alaska Meals to You (M2Y)

Learn more about M2Y here.

  • The Alaska Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) has created a demonstration project, Alaska Meals to You (M2Y), to reduce food insecurity in rural Alaska during the summer months.
  • Eligible children in rural Alaskan communities will receive meals through an alternative delivery method, such as through the US Postal Service.
