'The Library Dads' rewrite the narrative on Black fatherhood
Meet 'The Library Dads,' an Atlanta-based group rewriting the narrative on fatherhood—one book at a time. A few times a month, these dedicated dads bring their kids to local libraries to bond over reading and play. But it's more than just story time—it's about building a strong community of fathers who support each other through dad-only events and shared experiences. AJC’s Najja Parker shows how the impact is real: Studies show that kids who are close to their fathers are twice as likely to go to college or secure a steady job.
