Campers generally have 10 days after abatement notices are posted to leave the area. Farina Brown says the city is allowing nearly three weeks this time because of the size of the camps.

Friday on Alaska News Nightly:

Anchorage officials hope to move residents of the city's two largest homeless camps into shelter. Plus, Mat-Su library board members will review hundreds of books a month, duplicating the work of librarians. And, the U.S. side of the historic Chilkoot Trail will reopen for the first time in five years.

Reports tonight from:

Wesley Early, Hannah Flor and Casey Grove in Anchorage
Tim Ellis in Delta Junction
Avery Ellfeldt in Haines
Katherine Rose in Sitka
