Programs & Services

Preschool Storytime is making a comeback! It may look a bit different, but we're so excited to see our friends again!

In order to keep everyone safe, we're asking families to register for sessions with their social bubbles. (No drop-ins at this time, please.) Each session will have approximately 30 minutes of stories and activities, with a fun craft to take and create at home.

Storytime @ Home will still occur Fridays at 11:15 on Facebook Live for families that prefer a virtual experience.

Questions? Contact Molly Walker @ 835-4632. Hope to see you soon!

REGISTER by calling 907-835-4632.

All programs are subject to cancellation as we monitor the COVID-19 situation.  We will use the infographic created by Valdez Unified Command to inform these decisions.

Book Basket Auction will be virtual in 2020

The Valdez Consortium Library Board and Staff will host an Online Book Basket Auction Friday, November 13-Wednesday, November 25.  All baskets will be listed on an online auction website, and all proceeds will be used to purchase library materials.
