Gerrish Branch Library – Girdwood

The Scott and Wesley Gerrish Library, located in Girdwood, is Anchorage Public Library’s most southern branch. The 9,000 square-foot library looks like a cozy ski chalet and is nestled at the base of stunning mountains and the local ski resort.

At the library you’ll find ways to read, watch, listen, learn and meet including programs for youth, families and adults; plus a variety of books, DVDs and electronic resource databases.

History
The Scott and Wesley Gerrish Branch Library was named in memory of brothers Scott and Wesley Gerrish who grew up in Girdwood. Their untimely deaths as a result of being hit by a car on the Alyeska Highway in 1981. This tragic accident occurred the week that the Girdwood Library was scheduled to have a ribbon cutting ceremony. Through community action, a name change was approved for the new library to honor the lives of the young boys.
