Your membership is the greatest gift you can give to the John Trigg Ester Library.
The John Trigg Ester Library is open to the public to browse and check out books, but encourages membership support. The library was started by Ester residents with too many books on their hands who wanted to be able to walk to their local library. Membership is open to anyone—you don’t have to live in Ester to be a member of the JTEL. Currently, an individual membership is $10 per year, and $25 for families.
Members have the ability to surf the web on our high speed internet, reserve the Clausen Cabin for meetings or events, vote at the annual general membership meeting and run for and serve on the Board of Directors. Members also receive a monthly newsletter by email, alerting them to upcoming activities and events.
Here are the various ways that you can pay for a membership:
- Drop off your cash or check during open hours.
- Drop off your cash or check at one of two drop box locations (back deck of the Clausen Cabin, or during summer months at the Ida Lane Clausen Gazebo, located across the street from the Post Office).
- Mail your cash or check to John Trigg Ester Library, PO Box 468, Ester, AK 99725
- Pay your membership fee online here
