Library

Need at-home COVID test kits? Test kits are available for free distribution at the Homer Public Library. 

January 2024 Update: COVID test kits are no longer available at the Homer Public Library.

No Internet? No Problem!

The library now has 10 wireless hotspots available for checkout. The hotpots allow any computer, tablet or smartphone to connect to the internet through the AT&T 4G wireless network, which covers most areas in and around Homer. They provide unlimited data throughout their 2-week checkout period, which we hope will benefit households across the region, especially those with no other means of internet access.

This project was made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, grant number ARPA25.

Computers are everywhere, changing every industry on the planet. But only 51% of all high schools teach computer science. Good news is, we’re on our way to change this! If you've heard about the Hour of Code™ before, you might know it made history. 100 million students have now discovered how accessible and fun computer science can be by doing just one Hour of Code™.

Bring your brown bag lunch and questions/comments to talk with a councilmember.
