Downtown Library
Anchorage Public Library (APL) and the Anchorage Library Foundation (ALF) are working to re-establish a downtown library made possible by a generous bequest from Janet and John Goetz.
If you don't have a library card, September is a great time to get one! Celebrate Library Card Sign-Up Month with special events, limited edition promotions, and get to know the best parts of your Anchorage Public Library. Already have a card? We've got something for you too! Upgrade to our "Baby Yoda" card for a small donation to the Friends of The Library; plus check out our partnered promotions with Alaskan owned Zip Kombucha and Wild Scoops.
Booch for Books
Anchorage Public Library is teaming up with Zip Kombucha for a tasty collaboration. During the month of September, show your library card at the Zip Kombucha Tap Room and get 10% off your purchase. Buy the library's signature flavor, "To Chai For" and proceeds will go to support the library and be sure to join us for our “Book Tasting” event on September 10.
Scoops and Stories
Help us create a library themed ice cream flavor based on a favorite children’s book! Wild Scoops will help us bring your vision to life if you win our Creation Contest running September 1-13. This flavor and more will be available during a flavor filled tasting event on September 30. Check out all the contest details and find out how you can get a limited edition sticker too!
