It's National Library Week and across the country libraries are celebrating "Come Together @ Your Library." The Friends of the Homer Public Library is joining the national effort to recognize the amazing opportunities libraries can offer, the staff and volunteers that make our library a great place to be and the diverse community that uses the Homer Public Library. Events include something for everyone, including teens. FHL and the library staff are proud to recognize Teen Literature Day this week because it draws attention to the many young adults that are a positive presence at the library where they come together to do research, homework or to find books and movies for fun.

With the support of the Fred Meyer Foundation and The Homer Foundation-YAC, FHL is able add to the offerings at the library for young adults by launching Youth Focus 2007 at the library this week. New books, DVDs, CDs, audiobooks and fun, interesting programs to along with the new resources will offer teens more ways to use the library.

FHL is excited to be apart of the Homer community?s effort to provide great opportunities for young adults. Thank you to the Fred Meyer Foundation and the Homer Foundation's YAC and Ashley Logan Fund for making the needs of Homer's young adults a priority!
