SLAM switches to summer hours

Starting today, the Alaska State Museum will switch to transitional hours, which are Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., until May 9. Regular summer hours, 9 am to 5 pm daily, begin Wednesday, May 9. Summer admission rates begin May 1 and are $12 for adults, $11 for seniors and free for patrons 18-years-old and younger.

The Richard Foster Reading Room and Research Center at Alaska State Library and Alaska State Archives will be open on Mondays beginning today. New hours are Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The library and archives have been closed to the public on Mondays since September 2016 due to staffing shortages, but the division has since rectified the staffing situation and can now open Mondays.

Holiday closures for the Father Andrew P. Kashevaroff State Library, Archives, and Museum are state holidays on May 28, July 4 and Sept. 3.

A person experiencing a disability who needs accommodation for events hosted by the Alaska State Library, Archives, and Museum can contact the Division’s ADA coordinator at 465-2988 to make any necessary arrangements.
