Programs and Events

The John Trigg Ester Library offers a variety of community-based programs and events. We host groups for visual arts, writing, music, and knitting. We have several fundraising events each year. Our community library welcomes new ideas for programs, events, and clubs or organizations.

Programs

We currently have 2 programs in place: the Growing Ester’s Biodiversity (GEB) program, and our Children’s Reading program.

Growing Ester’s Biodiversity

Growing Ester’s Biodiversity (GEB) is a seed library and biodiversity education program at the John Trigg Ester Library. GEB also supports and participates in workshops, reading groups, or other events, including seed swaps.

Children’s Programs

The Ester Library has different Children’s Programs and Events, which change with the season and/or interest. If you are interested in having your child(ren) participate in events, please contact us to set something up.

Events

In addition to its annual meeting, the JTEL holds several community events and fundraisers each year that serve to keep the library operating or just to have a great time. These are examples of what has been hosted in previous years:

  • Seedy Saturday – a seedsavers’ get-together and seed donation/checkout event!
  • Garlic sales – usually in the fall every year, we sell several different varieties.
  • Memorial Day plant sale – annuals and perennials, edible and non-edible, come on down to get some for your garden!
  • SuperHeroes Night Out – a silent auction with hundreds of goods from Fairbanks area businesses, combined with a rollicking good time and dancing to a live band!
  • The LiBerry Music Festival & Berry Pie Throwdown – live music, a berry pie contest and lots of pie to eat!

Groups
