📖 About Tri-Valley Community Library
The Tri-Valley Community Library is a combined public/school library housed within Tri-Valley Public School (K–12) in Healy, Alaska, operated in cooperation with the Denali Borough School District. It serves the communities of Healy, Ferry, and McKinley Village — a stretch of the upper Nenana River valley where the economy has long centered on the Usibelli Coal Mine, North America's largest surface coal mine, alongside a growing tourism industry tied to Denali National Park. The library's collection of more than 23,000 volumes supports residents through Alaska's long Interior winters as well as the seasonal influx of summer visitors. Community programs run throughout the year, from a summer reading program and story hour for children to a book club, writing group, and movie nights for adults. The library provides public computers, Wi-Fi, curbside pickup, disc cleaning, and interlibrary loan services.
