Wild new collection from the Alaska Library Commission
****For Immediate Release: April 1, 2008****
********Alaska Library Commission*******
This one's not digitized! In order to foster a better understanding of Alaska's unique wildlife, the Alaska State Library is adding a new lending collection. Available to those with local or statewide cards, or through interlibrary loan, you can now borrow a bit of Alaska's natural history: live birds and animals! Borrowers are responsible for the care and feeding of their creature while checked out. There are no charges for this service, but I'm sure you can all understand that loss and damage fees are quite high. Loans do not come with trainers and the State Library cannot be held responsible for any damage by the collections, so patrons with young children or small animals are encouraged to seriously consider whether or not this service is appropriate for them.
For more information about this service, see the finding aid.
