The City of Homer is doing everything possible to enhance access to information, learning and literature. Items still check out for the same length of time, and lost items still carry a charge for replacement and processing. Please call or email us with any questions you may have.

Homer Public Library now offers 24/7 wi-fi access outside the library building. The signal should be accessible in the plaza and the parking lot to the west of the building. The login process is the same as for in-building access. If you need help with connecting, please call 907-235-3180.
