Join our community-wide initiative to read fifteen books throughout the year! Anyone can participate, although the books were chosen with adults or mature teens in mind.
Each book you've read (and reported) enters you into a monthly drawing for a prize. Any person who reads and enters fifteen or more books by the end of the year will be eligible to win the grand prize! Prizes are generously funded by the Friends of the Homer Library.

This project secures land, designs and constructs a multi-use community center in Homer. The community has long prioritized the need for indoor municipal recreational and community space, especially considering the ongoing challenges of operating the City's Community Recreation Program in the local schools and in the City’s aging and defunct Homer Education and Recreation Complex (HERC), whose rehabilitation is complicated by the presence of hazardous materials.
