Ester Village Library
About My Library

The Ester Village Library is a small library in Ester, Alaska, open to the public. The library is owned and managed by a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation We have about 10,000 volumes (we haven't catalogued them all yet). We're raising funds to construct a new building, so we can move the books off our overly-crammed shelves and put them in a nice big spacious library where we can hang out and read 'em all!


We are located in a log cabin on Main Street, Ester, also known as the Ansgar & Ida Clausen Cabin. This log building houses the Ruth Jasper Children's Room, Alaska/Yukon Collection, and our seed library, as well as fiction and nonfiction books. The Clausen Cabin has a couple of storage sheds and a garden associated with it also.

On our property on Village Road we have begun the first stage of our new building, the thermal storage tank that is Phase I of our eventual Passive House structure. Farther down the street, we have a toolshed/composting outhouse and the Ida Lane Clausen Gazebo, an 8-sided structure used for small parties and a quiet reading nook. Surrounding the gazebo and shed are perennial gardens. The motto on the stoop of the gazebo is from Erasmus: "When I have a little money, I buy books, and if there is any left over, I buy food."
