The John Trigg Ester Library is a small nonprofit membership library, located in Ester in the U.S. state of Alaska. The library has approximately 6,000 volumes in its collections, and is constructing a new (library building ). The library design is for the farthest-north Passive house structure in North America. Library membership is dues-based, with most members coming from the Ester area; dues are $10 per year minimum, or for additional donation. The library is staffed by its nine-member volunteer board of directors and a small group of additional volunteers. The library is housed in two facilities: a rented room in a building in the center of the village, and a historic log building across the street known as the Ansgar & Ida Clausen Cabin. The library has a cold-storage annex and storage outbuildings for donated books, furniture, and equipment. An associated gazebo, situated about a block away near the village post office, serves as an outdoor reading room and event area in connection with the library. The Ester library is a member of the Alaska Library Association and uses LibraryThing for its online catalog. ==Programs== The library has two programs at present: a monthly lecture series featuring local speakers, and (Growing Ester's Biodiversity ) (GEB), a seed sharing program dedicated to increasing local food security and agricultural sustainability. The GEB program's seed library is housed in the Clausen Cabin. A third program, focusing on old-time music played in the Interior from the early 1900s era, is in development. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Trigg Ester Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
