Homeschool Toolkit

Homeschool Toolkit is a personalized program to empower your students in their research and introduce them to various learning formats. Youth services staff will compile an assortment of materials including books, WonderBooks, STEM kits, Scholastic Teachables printable worksheets, and more to give your study hour an extra boost. You may use the Youth Services area for your get-together or you can rent a dedicated space with a whiteboard and computer access.

Inquiries must be received at least one week in advance so we have time to assemble your materials; email us at APLYouth@muni.org to get started.

Scout Patch Program

Anchorage Public Library is excited to announce our Scout Patch program! This is open to any scout (Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, American Heritage Girls, Trail Life USA, and more). After a few preparatory activities, visit any library location for a tour and to complete a scavenger hunt. When your scout leader or adult has verified that you have completed the requirements, library staff will give you a patch that can be ironed on or sewn onto a uniform!

Scout Patch requirements:

Scavenger hunts (part of the patches)

Please pre-arrange your visit and tour with a librarian by contacting your local library or email us at APLYouth@muni.org.
