The Library Dads: Atlanta fathers turning pages and changing lives; 11Alive, July 30, 2025

Alexis Derickson , 11Alive; The Library Dads: Atlanta fathers turning pages and changing lives

"Two years ago, an Atlanta man sat on the floor of a local library, gently cradling his newborn daughter. 

She was just four months old, but already, this dad was searching for something the two could bond over together. Something that was just theirs.

Khari Arnold, founder of The Library Dads, soon found himself returning to the library each week, tucked into a reading routine. Arnold started to notice a difference not just in their relationship, but in his daughter Ariah’s development. Doctors said her vocabulary was over 20 times larger than that of her peers by 18 months old...


Their father-daughter tradition became the foundation for The Library Dads, an Atlanta-based nonprofit redefining early literacy while empowering men through fatherhood. Founded by Arnold, the group draws dozens of dads across metro Atlanta and is grounded in three pillars: bonding, books, and brotherhood."
