Share your vision for the ibrary in 2046!

We want to hear from YOU! This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Homer Public Library building at 500 Hazel Avenue.

At the beginning of this century, the citizens of Homer set out to construct a new library to serve their growing community. They designed the building around what they thought Homer would need over the following 20 years: lots of computers, lots of space, and plenty of capacity for meetings and events. Their projections were remarkably accurate.

HHS teachers Erin and Josh Brege, along with 17 HHS students, traveled to Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy during Spring Break 2026. Through this exceptional educational experience, students earned both high school and college credits while developing a broader global perspective.

Join us at the library as HHS students present and share highlights and stories from their educational journey abroad!

This anthology offers a groundbreaking and vital perspective on war’s destruction of the natural world—the creatures, plants, soil, water, and atmosphere of Earth. In poems and contextual comments, 61 contemporary poets focus on military damages to the ecosystems on six continents and the moon.

Join us at the library with author Eowyn Ivey as she shares insights from her latest novel! Black Woods, Blue Sky is a suspenseful novel with life-and-death stakes about the love between a mother and daughter, and about the lure of a wild life—about what we gain and what it might cost us.
