Selling homes in Alaska is not the only thing that is new and interesting these days. Petersburg Alaska welcomes its first fall/winter with the opening of their new public library! The construction took a little over a year and is quite the draw with kids of all ages! There is a toddler room (which has some sound proofing) complete with computers and a corner for toddler story hour. There is a communal corner in the main body of the library with fireplace and chairs. There is a “teen room” which has diner-like seating and fireplace and coffee-shop tables around. From the stone entry to the exposed wood beams – this library truly is a gorgeous building. The people who work here are very friendly and accommodating and if there’s a book you can’t find they will order it and have it in within a week.
