On July 27, 2020, the Homer City council voted to abolish all overdue fines for the Homer Public Library!

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.

Do you have questions about the upcoming elections? The Homer Public Library and Kenai Peninsula Votes have recorded a series of Zoom Webinars all about voting and elections. If you have questions about how, when and where to vote, these webinars will help you become a more informed citizen.
