I really enjoy this library because of an incident like yesterday that just took me by surprise. I came in looking for a specific reference book and the clerk was so helpful before explaining that those materials were not at this facility, but she could order it and I could pick it up. I thought that was pretty decent and left my number for when it got there. I was thinking a couple of days..wrong..I got a call at the end of the day...it was there... And even though it was late, if I was on my way she would wait for me...wow...thanks that was so cool...

This is a review for the DMV location at University Center on Ingra Street…read more I had to renew my Driver's License, and decided I'd go all fancy and get a Real ID, so I checked their website to see what documents I'd need, and that's where I discovered you could make an appointment. I didn't know if having an appointment would get me seen any faster, and the next available appointment was 3 days from when I booked, but that's ok, as my license doesn't expire until end of March. The emailed instructions said to check in at the information desk, or one of the kiosks. I put in my phone number as instructed in the email, and it printed out a ticket number. I rolled my eyes aggressively at it, thinking "I could have just gotten a ticket number from the regular machine" HOWEVER, the actual second the ticket was printing out, my number was actually being called at the booth. And I also got a text message too. I go to the desk, and Shiela/Sheila was super helpful. I had an eye test, I had to answer a couple of questions, provide some documents as proof of where I live, and my Legal Permanent Resident card, and that's about all she needed, despite the fact that their website told me I'd need to bring Birth Certificate, proof of name changes etc. I in fact had a big fat envelope full of stuff, "just in case" I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. I paid my $40 and got a receipt, I think that's pretty good for Real ID. I was then directed to desk number 1 for a picture. The lady at desk number 1 was also very helpful and sweet, and she had an awesome sleeve. She checked my receipt, took my picture, even told me it was an awesome picture (I appreciate the kindness) and printed my temporary license telling me my full license card would be mailed and I'd have it in 2-3 weeks. All in all a painless experience, compared to previous visits where I've waited a very long time. Even this office seems a lot cleaner, airier, just more pleasant all round. I think back when I passed my drivers test, I took it over at the old location by Spenard. Anyway, so yeah, in and out in 15 minutes, I don't think you could beat that, so I recommend making an appointment for sure.

Downgrading my 5-star review for the DMV, sadly…read more The new location is massive and service is usually fast but...their are definitely some process issues that need to be fixed: I arrived 5 minutes early for my RealID appoint which I made weeks in advance. I got a text message the day before reminding me of this appointment and saying I needed to check in at the kiosk. So went right up to the kiosk (5 minutes early) and it gave an error, saying I was trying to check in to early, and that you can only check-in up to 10 minutes before an appointment. Huh? To make sure I was being gaslit, I re-checked my watch, and it was now 4 minutes before my appointment. 4 is less than 10 right? RIGHT? So I went and waited in line for the front desk. The snarky clerk wasn't listening to anything I was saying and simply said "Do you have a D1?!" And handed me a form to fill out. TIP: if the D1 is required...maybe have me fill one out online when I booked this appointment eons ago? I filled out the D1, and waited in line for the front desk again. I handed the D1 and the clerk didn't even recognize me. He asked if I was checked-in. I told him the whole reason I filled out a D1 is because he said I had to fill it out in order to check-in. He checked me in and I was instantly served. The process was pretty smooth from that point on. Except for one MAJOR thing: They took my driver's license, and stamped holes in it that read VOID. In return ,they gave me a printout on a piece of paper...that is ONLY good for showing cops when are pulled over. In a town like Anchorage where you ALWAYS need your ID for any and all alcohol purchases...I guess your option is to carry your insanely-valuable passport around with you until you get your RealID in 4-6 weeks? Y'all, there's gotta be a better solution to this. Here are two ideas: Idea 1: Let me keep my ID and have my ReadID shipped to the DMV. Send me a text notification when you have the RealID, and I can come in with my (non-VOID'd) ID and swap it ou. Idea 2: Get a printer to make IDs INSTANTLY, like so many DMVs in the lower 48 have. This current system just totally sucks. Choosing between carrying my Passport around and dealing with the crushing anxiety that I might lose it...or carrying a piece of paper and not being able to consume ethanol for 4-6 weeks...is a rough dilemma!

The museum is locked, but all you have to do is press the button at the door during normal business hours and someone will come down and let you in. The museum has old memorabilia such as ladders, water bombs, toys, helmets, radios pictures and decorative hydrants. They also have an old pole that was removed from one of their fire houses. It is not operational, but still cool to see. The woman working there during my visit was very nice and helpful. She answered any question that I had. It is free to visit and for me, it broke up visiting the same old stuff. There is merchandise such as t-shirts, hats, and patches that you can purchase there. There is no apparatus on display, but I was told that if they were not bust that I may be able to see the apparatus in the real firehouse behind the museum. This is not a big time consumer, but is neat to see and could be coupled with visits to the firefighters memorial, the Alaska Law Enforcement Museum, and other nearby attractions
