Crowds of Unalaskans gathered Sunday to celebrate the grand opening of the newly expanded Unalaska Public Library. “It’s an investment by the community in itself, really,” said City Librarian Karen Kresh. “And a statement of confidence in the future of this community — that we’re still going to be here for the next 25 years."

The Unalaska Public Library will reopen this weekend, more than a year after it closed for a long-awaited renovation and expansion. The library will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening celebration Sunday, April 30, from 1 to 3 p.m.

There’ll be about two weeks without community access to the library, as city staff transfers collection materials and puts finishing touches on the new permanent space. During the closure, library patrons can return materials to the book drop at the new building.

Unalaska’s new and expanded library is scheduled to open April 30 — and it’ll include many new art installations. KUCB’s Sofia Stuart-Rasi spoke with Fairbanks artist Sara Tabbert about her creation.
