A Conversation with Julia Quinn
Anchorage Public Library is excited to welcome #1 New York Times Best Selling author, Julia Quinn to Alaska. Join us for “A Conversation With Julia Quinn” October 16 and 17.
It's time to get growing and our Gerrish, Mountain View, and Chugiak-Eagle River Library Seed Exchanges are open and ready to share. Seeds are “available until gone”. We are accepting AND handing out seeds, so bring your extras to keep the exchange going. All seeds are welcome - vegetable, herb, annuals, perennials, etc.
Update 6/1/2026:
Seeds are no longer available at the Gerrish Library. Special thanks to the Girdwood Library Boosters and the Friends of the Library for their support.
LIBRARY IN A BOX KITS
If gardening is a new-to-you hobby, check out our Gardening Library in a Box kit. These kits contain items around a different theme to help you learn a new skill, navigate a new milestone, or just have some fun. The Gardening kit is designed to introduce you to beginner gardening. Use the included books, seeds, and gardening tools to learn about starting your own garden.
Summer Discovery at Anchorage Public Library
The best way for children to keep their reading skills up and be ready for the next school year is just to read! APL is here to encourage reading and learning with our annual Summer Discovery program.
Your Library on the Move
The Mobile Library extends key library services to communities with limited access to physical library locations. Look for us at a stop near you to checkout books, signup for library cards, and more.
