Library

Homer Public Library will be closed Thursday and Friday, Nov. 24-25 in honor of Thanksgiving. Enjoy your holiday!

In honor of Veterans Day, local author Doug Dodd will give a talk about his latest book, Hero Unaware: Letters Home from a Navy Corpsman During WWII. The book presents a collection of letters from his father, who served in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. This is the story of how a farm boy from Montana ended up at Saipan and Iwo Jima, and the effect his wartime service had on the rest of his life.

The book is available at the Homer Public Library. Check it out today!

The library will be closed for Alaska Day on Monday, October 18th. The library will reopen on Tuesday, October 19th at 10:00am.

Because we can't have artists visit the library, we are going to bring you to visit the Artists in THEIR Residence! 

To recognize the creative use of technology to support learning, literacy and art, we are connecting families with Artists in THEIR Residence. Artists will be featured on our website with a short video interview or series of photos. Stay tuned for some videos!

Explore a picture book as you walk the library's story trail!
