Overview

The Book Hook Fund, established by a supporter of Alaskan Brewing Co, aims to enhance library resources in small rural communities across Alaska. With its inaugural grants, including $1000 to Tri Valley Library in Healy, the fund has significantly contributed to expanding children's literature collections. This initiative fosters literacy and learning in communities with populations of 5,000 or less, ensuring that access to quality reading materials is available to all.

Book Hook Fund is a donor-advised fund, founded by an investor in Alaskan Brewing Co, who spent much of his younger years in libraries. He created this Fund with a focus on grants for libraries in small rural communities (5,000 or less people) throughout Alaska.
In its first year, The Book Hook Fund awarded several $1000 grants, including one to Tri Valley Library in Healy, Alaska where they were able to purchase 153 books for their Children’s and Junior Fiction collections.
