The program was modeled after the much \u00a0successful Harbor Matching Grant program. Recently constructed libraries in Southeast that utilized 50\/50 percent match funding between the State of Alaska \u00a0and communities; will serve our citizens and young people well into the future. Improvements made in the new libraries included upgrades in services, media, \u00a0internet, meeting rooms, and building operation system advancements. Libraries serve a very important role in our communities.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4156\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bertstedman.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Grand-Opening-of-Sitka-Library-supporters.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4156\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4156\" src=\"http:\/\/bertstedman.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Grand-Opening-of-Sitka-Library-supporters-300x220.jpg\" alt=\"Senator Stedman with the Sitka Public Library board and supporters.\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"http:\/\/bertstedman.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Grand-Opening-of-Sitka-Library-supporters-300x220.jpg 300w, http:\/\/bertstedman.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Grand-Opening-of-Sitka-Library-supporters.jpg 932w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4156\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Senator Stedman with the Sitka Public Library board and supporters.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The grand opening celebration of the new Sitka Public Library was held on March 20th.
