Need a place to study or have a meeting? We have a variety of spaces to meet your needs. Study rooms are available on a limited basis at the Chugiak-Eagle River and Loussac Libraries.
Meeting and special event space at Anchorage Public Library offers both unique and state of the art options for your next event. Our contemporary meeting and community rooms offer collaborative spaces to brainstorm your next big idea, gather community input or even host a birthday party. Our 200 seat theater is waiting to host recitals, public meetings, film screenings and more. The Loussac Event Center offers 2 floors in the round and access to the beautiful Ann Stevens room. Revenue from rental fees goes to support city services including the Library. E-mail the Facilities Use Coordinator to schedule a tour of our spaces.
