The Friends of the Talkeetna Library have completed the Children’s Literary Trail Project. The approximately 1/4 mile trail now has 10 places to stop and read a page or three from a children’s book. The books will be changed out frequently until winter. Thanks to the Mat-Su Trail Crew who brush cut the trail for you.
This project was made possible through a grant by Jessica Stevens Foundation, an affiliate of the Alaska Community Foundation.

GET SOME HELP AT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY:
Here are just a few of the things the library staff can help you with:
​
Tax Forms:
 The most common forms and schedules are available. Tax tables and instruction booklets are expected soon but these can be printed off. W-2s’ and 1099’s need a special form and the library does not have them. Calling ahead or having a list of what you need will help everyone.  The staff is unable to offer any tax advice.

For the Chase parking pass, please bring your driver’s license and proof of insurance as well as a description of your vehicle, including license plate number. The library can only accept cash or check for these passes.
Fishing Licenses: Did you know you can apply online?
Filing for your PFD: The staff will be most available on Mondays - Wednesday from 11am to 3 pm to help with applications for PFD
