Kenai Community Library

Reading aloud can be intimidating, even scary, for some children. But a new program at the Kenai Community Library allows young readers to build confidence while connecting with a four-legged friend.

Friends of the Kenai Community Library have worked to install or relocate nine little libraries around town, from Daubenspeck Park to Municipal Park. Readers can borrow books like a traditional library, or keep the books for themselves.

The Kenai Community Library held a dedicated James Webb Day on Tuesday. It also added two telescopes to its collection earlier this year, available to library patrons year round.

The GoFundMe campaign for the library was a response to a decision by the Kenai City Council to hold off on receiving a grant from the National Library of Medicine last fall, which had some Kenai residents crying censorship. The library is currently composing its first request to draw $3,000 from the $15,000 raised.
