Palmer officials are setting up a temporary “storefront” to check out library books and materials on East Arctic Avenue, following last month's partial roof collapse which closed the Palmer Public Library.
Residents of Palmer have rallied to support the Palmer Public Library since the buildingLast week, Palmer City Manager John Moosey announced at a Palmer City Council meeting that a temporary “storefront” to check out library books and materials will be available at 137 East Arctic Ave. in Palmer, in the building that was the previous home to Great Northern Engineering.
“So many people will walk through the door because they know it’s open to them — there’s no expectation that they have to pull out their wallet and have anything else besides a library card,” House said. “It doesn’t matter what your walk of life is, this is your space. It’s a space where we as a small community can come together and be together.”
Connor read the first book in author Chris Colfer’s three-book “A Tale Of Magic” series while competing in Battle of the Books. He had intended to check out the last book in the series, but then the library’s roof came down and no one has been allowed inside the unsafe structure to check out books.
