Need at-home COVID test kits? Test kits are available for free distribution at the Homer Public Library. 

January 2024 Update: COVID test kits are no longer available at the Homer Public Library.

Homer Police Department does not do background checks for the general public.

Background checks must be done through the State of Alaska website: https://dhss.alaska.gov/dhcs/pages/cl/bgcheck/default.aspx

No Internet? No Problem!

The library now has 10 wireless hotspots available for checkout. The hotpots allow any computer, tablet or smartphone to connect to the internet through the AT&T 4G wireless network, which covers most areas in and around Homer. They provide unlimited data throughout their 2-week checkout period, which we hope will benefit households across the region, especially those with no other means of internet access.

This project was made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, grant number ARPA25.

This is a reminder that while the State of Alaska will allow all-terrain vehicles to be driven on some public roads with speed limits of 45 mph or less beginning January 1, 2022,
