Anchorage along with the Loussac Library is sponsoring a celebration to
mark International Women's Day.
International Women's Day, March 8, 2019 is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. This day allows organizations large and small to highlight how valuable women are to today’s society. The UN states this year’s theme as: Think equal, build smart, innovate for change. The theme can focus on innovative ways in which we can advance gender equality and the empowerment of women, particularly in the areas of social protection systems, access to public services and sustainable infrastructure.
Our event will be on Thursday, March 7 at the Wilda Marston Theater, Loussac Library. 7 Women will speak for 7 minutes on any facet of the above theme, whatever resonates. We are using as a template the Arctic Entries format which in turn was inspired by This American Life and Stoop Stories of Baltimore. Prior to the program there will be a reception.

Help us kick off National Gratitude Month by saying thank you to our volunteers!
Volunteers are an invaluable part of Anchorage Public Library. This year they've helped us in big ways and small. They helped us move the Alaska Collection to the third floor, they've provided peer assistance in the Job Shop, they've organized the book sales, and much, much more.
This November we're honoring all of our volunteers on Friday, November 1 in the Ann Stevens Room. Light refreshments will be available at 11:30am, speeches and awards will start at 12:30pm.
This is a great time to learn more about volunteering at Anchorage Public Library.
Everyone is welcome!
