Author Talk with Linda Fritz on Tuesday, May 13, 6:00 - 7:00 pm at the Homer Public Library

Answering Alaska’s Call chronicles the extraordinary life of Milo ‘Doc’ Fritz. Alaska’s legendary “Flying Doctor.” Epic in sweep and intimate in tone, Milo’s story is intertwined with 20th-century medical and Alaska history—his life impacted by World War II, advances in aviation, the territory’s transition to statehood, the Good Friday Earthquake, the discovery of oil, and passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.

Join us at the library to meet editor, writer, and award-winning essayist Linda Fritz, who ventured to Alaska at age 16 to work as a nurse’s aide for her uncle—Doc Fritz.

Check out this book at the library or purchase your own copy during the event from the Homer Bookstore.

It's almost time to join the 9th annual Homer Steps Up challenge! For four weeks, track your daily walks with your smartphone, wearable fitness tracker, or pedometer to win prizes and incorporate more movement into your routine. NEW THIS YEAR: team sizes are no longer capped! Participants are now able to set their own daily walking goals, and our virtual map shows your progress on a walk between the end of the spit and Mirror Lake in Anchorage.

Every Wednesday, we're giving $50 in Homer Bucks to 10 walkers who averaged 7,500+ daily steps. Then, the 3 teams with the highest average daily steps over the four weeks will receive $100-500 to donate to their Homer organization of choice.

This is an open time to come walk or run indoors and not have to worry about the snowy/icy conditions outside. We will have background music playing over the speakers. Come get your stroll on!

Open to adults (18+) for $4.00 per session (as of 9/1/24).
