The Kenai Community Library is partnering with the Food Bank of Alaska and distributing FREE pre-packaged lunches to all children 18 and under. No requirements, all kids welcome! We will provide a non-congregate meal service this year, meaning that during this distribution time, each child picks up 7 meals to eat at home throughout the next week. Child must be present to pick up meals. This program begins on May 26th and ends on August 11th. This program is made possible by the Food Bank of Alaska. This institution and its partners are equal opportunity providers.

Join us for a music workshop with THE LINGONBERRIES! Based out of Kodiak, The Lingonberries are a brother and sister duo that perform a mixture of genres with guitar, piano, loop station, beatbox, keytar, and more. They also specialize in offering a variety of music lessons to explore the creative process of making music! During this workshop, learn to use your own creative ideas and make music from scratch. No experience is required to make something cool and meaningful! Use your voice, instruments, and ideas to create beats, songs, and score on the spot. This class is open to ages 6-12. Registration is required as space is limited.

Teen Lounge is a weekly hang-out program for teens aged 13-18. Join us for video games, board games, study sessions, crafts, and other fun activities EVERY WEDNESDAY!

One jar, one plant, no crazy pumps or filters. Learn one of the simplest hydroponic methods and grow fresh greens in no time. The Kratky method of hydroponics is a "set-it-and-forget-it" technique, where you let the plant do all the work for you. The first 20 registrants will get to assemble their own setup to take home enjoy.

We are excited to share stories, sing songs, and explore other learning fun together EVERY THURSDAY at the library!
