Downtown Library

The Anchorage Public Library and Anchorage Library Foundation are working to establish a downtown library, which has the potential to play an important role in the revitalization of downtown and could serve as an anchor tenant for a multi-use development.

ADN Article – Internet access. Maybe a cafe. And books, of course. A downtown Anchorage library is moving closer to reality.

This project is made possible by a generous bequest from Janet and John Goetz, long-time downtown residents who had a vision to establish a walkable library to serve the diverse needs of downtown residents, workers and visitors.

ADN Article – A longtime Anchorage resident wanted a downtown library. She left a lot of money for it.

The project was guided by the Downtown Library Exploration Committee – made up of members of the community with expertise and interest in downtown development who provided input to shape the vision and mission of the downtown library. If you have input, please contact info@librarychampion.com
