Thank you, Library Supporters! On August 11, 2025, the Homer City Council passed Resolution 25-074, extending the City’s gratitude to the hundreds upon hundreds of people who have supported the Homer Public Library since its founding in 1938. These people literally built the library from the ground up and keep it running today.
