about guys read

Guys Read, a literacy initiative founded by children's author Jon Scieszka, is designed to draw attention to boys' literacy and to motivate adults to help boys read more. Scieska is the nation's first children's laureate, officially called the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature.

This summer, Hennepin County Library is offering more than 40 Guys Read Book Clubs, which connect boys with books they like to read in a fun, guys-only environment.

Guys Read is made possible by the Library Foundation of Hennepin County with generous support from Best Buy Children's Foundation and the Ann and Jack Cole Children's Fund.
