Homer library making move to former church building

HOMER – Homer residents will have a new place to check out books and videos in mid-January.

Homer volunteer firefighters and other library volunteers plan on moving the contents of the village's public library from its current location in a 104-year-old old grocery store and bank in downtown Homer to a former church on the northeast side of town on Jan. 13.
