They offer a variety of story times catered to each age range. Story time includes poems, songs, dancing, books and they are always finished off with a craft that sticks with the theme of story time. Such a fun offering! The book selection is wonderful and they also have puzzles and a few stuffed toys for children to enjoy. They also offer computers with age appropriate games. The staff is very helpful if there is something specific you are looking for. One of my favorite features is that if the Wasilla library does not have a book you are looking for at their location you can place a hold on a copy throughout Alaska's public libraries and they will ship it to the Wasilla location for you to pick up! I can't wait to continue to explore what else the library has to offer!

A library card is free, and they recently eliminated all late fees and lost book fees (not sure how that's gonna work out....) If you bring a utility bill to show you have an Anchorage address you can check out up to 12 books at a time, otherwise you're limited to 3 at a time. Your library card also gives you access to a lot of ebooks and online movie rentals! The online website is super user friendly, you can reserve a book and the library will call you when it's ready. You walk in, and it's self serve pick up by last name. Super quick. The library offers a drive up return or you can go in person. Bathrooms are readily available and they have a little cafe.

What a beautiful library. The structure itself is a really nice place for students to study. The…read moreAlaska Collection is incredible. There is a phenomenal wing of materials specific to Alaska. But most everything is is woefully lacking. The materials are very out of date... stuff dating back to before the 70s that isn't valid anymore. So I don't know how students can be expected to use it. I suppose most research is done through the online portals.

There are lots of tables and seating all over the place! The second floor has a quite area on the east side for those looking to get away from the noise. There always seems to be computers available and there are a few printing stations and copy rooms available. Good luck finding parking if you come any time Mon-Thu during the day time classes. The thing I hate about the library is that the entrance is no where near the parking lot. You can be on the east side of the building and see your car and have to walk forever just to get to it. O well!! I'll post the hours soon!

It's quick and easy to…read moreget a card, especially if you have a Real ID; otherwise you just need to prove residency just as you do getting RID. I'm still old school and love to peruse the books and prefer reading an actual book rather than on a device. Most recently I went in for a specific book, which I had checked online and it showed available. You can of course use the computers there to find your book or find it just as easily with your device. A brief lookup on my phone and I found it quickly!' Books, audio books, magazines, movies and a plethora of digital items to check out online as well. There is plenty of space, tables and even private rooms for study. The staff is polite and helpful to boot! One thing to make note of is you need to contact them first about donating items. They don't just take things on a whim, and definitely not a place to just dump your boom supply.

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...

They have a sign saying they don't take trades in on Wednesday so I went in on Thursday & they said they were down for the entire next week. What should've been a 1 time task turned into a multi- week endeavor. They can't tell you what you recently bought (god forbid you're looking for the next in a series). They can't tell you at the counter to pay how much credit you have. Overall would not recommend as far as trying to trade things in. I also called and asked if they take puzzles (unopened) and they said yes, next time I came in I asked again and they said yes again. When I actually brought the puzzles in they said they don't take puzzles.
