and it has served as an example and standard for other buildings . Quite a few articles on Alaska institutions and personages get nominated for deletion due to their lack of notability, supposedly, but in a small state a small institution has much more proportionate influence. It sounds to me like the real problem here is that the links are outdated and the page needs cleanup. That's a different matter than needing deletion. I vote for keeping it.

While I would certainly consider them both reliable sources being reported on by them is not exactly a sign of notability in the sense of general notability in an encyclopedia.

Sorry, Beeblebrox, I think you underrate the value of the Homer library. Pretty much every library in Alaska with the exceptions of
Anchorage and Fairbanks' libraries might be considered small libraries by Outside standards. Being the third LEED building in the state is quite significant, I'd say,

This is our local library. It's quite nice for a small town library, and their sales of older books have fattened my collection of hard sci-fi immensely. In short, I like this library and everything it stands for. However, I think it is a bit silly to have a
