I'm still old school and love to peruse the books and prefer reading an actual book rather than on a device. Most recently I went in for a specific book, which I had checked online and it showed available. You can of course use the computers there to find your book or find it just as easily with your device. A brief lookup on my phone and I found it quickly!' Books, audio books, magazines, movies and a plethora of digital items to check out online as well. There is plenty of space, tables and even private rooms for study. The staff is polite and helpful to boot! One thing to make note of is you need to contact them first about donating items. They don't just take things on a whim, and definitely not a place to just dump your boom supply.

If you've spent any time at all in North Anchorage "tropical paradise" is certainly not the first…read moreterm that comes to mind. This is truly a hidden gem inside Russian Jack Springs Park. You enter through the solarium, a little tropical oasis with two goldfish/koi ponds, an incredible display of tropical plants and trees, and a large birdcage with a tree in it. We enjoyed simply sitting on the bench here and taking it all in. Next is the main greenhouse. There is quite a collection in there, some of the plants and trees have clearly been there a very long time, there are cacti that practically touch the ceiling, trees spreading out overhead, and all manner of other tropical plants that you won't find anywhere outside within a thousand miles of here. And there are starts and seedlings as well, indicating this will continue to be the lovely hidden oasis it is for years to come. I've been to bigger and more grandiose tropical greenhouses, but to have this at all in Alaska is quite an accomplishment. And it's free. A great way to spend an hour or so.

I guarantee if I went to the DMV at 4pm (not sure how late the DMV is even open until) on the last day of the month I would've waited hours. The staff was so friendly and helpful and even apologized for the wait (what wait??). I paid a bit more for convenience but it is WELL worth it considering I still had a ton of errands to do after.

What a beautiful library. The structure itself is a really nice place for students to study. The…read moreAlaska Collection is incredible. There is a phenomenal wing of materials specific to Alaska. But most everything is is woefully lacking. The materials are very out of date... stuff dating back to before the 70s that isn't valid anymore. So I don't know how students can be expected to use it. I suppose most research is done through the online portals.

There are lots of tables and seating all over the place! The second floor has a quite area on the east side for those looking to get away from the noise.

The thing I hate about the library is that the entrance is no where near the parking lot. You can be on the east side of the building and see your car and have to walk forever just to get to it.
