Adventures at the Palmer LibraryPalmer Library turns 80 in 2026 and we want to record stories about the library in Palmer, Alaska. This podcast series takes us on a journey – from colonists collecting books to store at the United Protestant Manse to a room in the Mat-Maid building to some garages and even to the famous chicken coop! Along the way, we will meet different Library People: librarians, patrons, researchers, authors, and others to help us learn about the history of the Palmer Library and so much more.Each episode will bring a mix of voices and stories about the library from the past and current times. There may be some tours of other libraries and even updates about building a new library in Palmer, Alaska.We are planning on an audio podcast that would be listed with al the regular podcasts sites, but also envision trying to doing a video version on youtube. The video part would be to allow for photos or video clips that would be of interest to go with the podcast.
