Native Village of Eagle

The Eagle Public Library provides books, newspapers, magazines, DVDs, and free Wi-Fi services for the community in this remote village of rural Alaska. The library will continue to partner with the Eagle Community School on opportunities for children and youth and will organize a reading program with new books of interest to young readers. At the same time, they will develop a program to help older community members and those who do not have computer knowledge navigate websites and retrieve online forms needed to file taxes or qualify for social security and other government services. With no other cellular service for 180 miles, the library serves as a link to the wider world.
