Summer Construction Updates
The construction dirt is flying this spring at our Anchorage Public Library! The new Chugiak-Eagle River Branch in the former Valley River Center has walls, paint and the carpet will go in soon. The expected opening date is early August. In Mountain View, the old building has been gutted and work on the addition has begun. The roof is being repaired on the Z.J. Loussac Library as well. Check out the project pages for photos.

Thanks to everyone who has supported these projects—especially our major contributors!
