No, not that Buffy. But a visit from another buffy to the Delta Junction Public Library as reported in the July 7, 2006 Alaska State Library Friday Bulletin:
LIBRARIES HAVE A STORY TO TELL – FROM JOYCE IN DELTA
So…. yesterday I’m sitting here working away on Summer Readers stuff, and three guys come in.. one buffed to a high gloss and the other two schlepping giant equipment bags.Buffy says: Hi, I’m Ted Rowlands from CNN… can we use your Internet?
JMc: ::after swiftly recovering from near faint:: “Of course!”
So they did – they filed this story from the DELTA LIBRARY.
They were all totally adorable and stunned at the beauty of Ak and tired, since they hadn’t slept since leaving LA the night before and couldn’t get over the constant light. While the tech guys got all their equipment hooked up, they asked a million questions, leading with the obvious “why do you live HERE?” to which I always reply, “why do you live THERE?” which I’ve found to be a handy come back.
Anyway, the video is on Fort Greely and why everyone is jumpy around here because they are on ALERT out there and ordinary mortals can’t even get on post right now to go to work. They wouldn’t let Ted on post either, but he does look charming standing in front of the trees at the gate, doesn’t he?

Just another day in the life of a Rural Alaska Librarian, and it goes to show that the center of the universe IS Delta Junction, like I keep trying to tell people.
They are on their way out to Dillingham next – I told them to be sure and use THAT library to file a story, too. 🙂 Joyce McCombs, Director Delta Community Library
