Youth Fishing Pole/Rod Loan Program

The Fishing Pole/Rod Loan Program allows young anglers the chance to try fishing without having to buy equipment. Fishing poles have been donated by Alaska State Parks and this equipment is available to be borrowed at no cost. The goal of the program is to promote fishing and the appreciation of our natural resources by combining angling skills with the ethical care of the environment. View our brochure for more information - Youth Fishing Pole/Road Loan Program Brochure.

Library Cards

To obtain a free borrower's card, permanent adult residents of the state of Alaska are required to present an acceptable photo identification (Alaska Driver's License, State issued Identification Card, or USA Passport) and a piece of current cancelled mail (no more than four week old).

Minor children ages 7-18 may apply for their own library card when accompanied by their parent/legal guardian. The parent/legal guardian must have a library card in good standing and be willing to assume responsibility for the minor for misuse or abuse of library materials.

Non-residents or visitors may apply for a Temporary Library card after presenting adequate photo identification, along with a $25.00 deposit. $20.00 is refunded when card is turned in before the end of the calendar year. Deposit is mailed to your permanent home address.
