Upcoming Activities
The next Thursdays: Our History program will feature a presentation by local historian Doug Capra on the book "The Alaskan" by Robert Lund. A novel about life in small-town Alaska in the 1930s, the author drew upon the time he spent working as a longshoreman in Seward for part of the tale. The program will start at 7 pm May 16 at the Seward Community Library & Museum. The event is open to the public.

Atrium Exhibit
Historic Preservation Month, the latest pop-up exhibit in the Library & Museum atrium, highlights a number of Seward locations that are on the National Historic Register. It's a primer to local history.
