The Seldovia Wild Books Free Children’s Bookshelf is NOW OPEN!
A HUGE thank you to the big heart and artful skill of Joe Fleckenstein for building this beautiful shelf for our free book exchange library. Located on the landing outside the library door in the Multipurpose Building, the shelf will be open whenever the main door is unlocked.
Come take a look, take a book, leave a book! We have lots of great titles already for children of all reading levels: fiction, non-fiction, picture books, chapter books, homeschool, summer skill practice and more. And thanks to you it will grow and grow!
You can drop books off to the library volunteer on staff or just set them on or next to the bookshelf. If you would like your donations picked up, text Piper at 541-513-4921 and that can be arranged. So give your children’s bookshelves a good spring clean and help spread the joy of reading!

IditaRead is an exciting winter reading program coming up that will correspond with the Iditarod Race during the months of February and March!
We will create a simplified version of the Iditarod route on the wall following the staircase up to the Library. Each participant will have a sled in the race. Watch as the individual sleds make the 975-mile trek from Anchorage to Nome!
(1 page read or read to you = 1 mile).
Visit the library to get your very own sled to decorate, sign up, and get an official tracking sheet. The reading race starts on February 1st!
