About the Library The John Trigg Ester library is a community membership library.. Membership is $5 a year. Check out our handy online catalog to see what titles we have. Library News
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. Please contact the librarians if you have questions. Philosophy of the Ester library 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 more space by winter 2010 (we hope), so please, just hang on to them for a little while longer. Land & building planning The new library building will be built along Village Road, Meeting minutes on its design are available for review; new floor plans were presented at this meeting. Discussions on separation from the ECA and incorporation have also been taking place. At the spring 2009 ECA meeting, the membership decided to spin the library off as its own nonprofit. The library formally became a separate entity as of its first annual membership meeting, held October 25, 2009. One aspect of a modern library that is very important is high-speed internet access, which, as Ester residents know, is in short supply here in the Ester Fire Service District. Contact ACS if you want DSL or T-1 access, and let them know that there is demand, that you want it for the library too, and that there will be increased demand as time goes by. |
