Library News

The fourth annual John Trigg Ester Library Lallapalooza & Book Bash earned nearly $6,000 -- and we have now paid off the land!

We now have an online catalog! The librarians will be adding titles to the catalog as time allows; it isn't complete yet, but we're working on it.

The library is renting the old Ester post office to handle the overflow book donations. We're asking people to hold off on bringing more books to the library, as we don't have room for all the ones we have now! We should have a new library by winter 2008 (we hope), so please, just hang on to them for a little while longer.

Check The Ester Republic for more library news and book and movie reviews, some of those books and videos residing on the library's shelves.

Where to Find the Library

The library is located off the village square in downtown Ester, Alaska, in the lower level of Frank's house, a red-and-white barnish building next to the log castle (you'll see what we mean when you get to the village square). The library is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Sunday. You can e-mail us at library [at] esterrepublic.com or call 479-3368 and leave a message if you have questions.
