A great library.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 3 comments link this postDespite this article, I can't say enough about how in love I am with a library here in Bismarck.
Great layout, great resources, free WiFi, and -- get this -- a little Italian coffee/lunch/gelato shop in the corner.*
I've certainly never been in quite this kind of library before, and if I could, I would hide in it at night and try to live here. It's that wonderful. It's also making a great place to study, with access to internet and silence and the smell of books and coffee.
Here I sit with my textbook and notebook and pen and a delicious beverage, all in the relative silence and hushed talk only found in libraries. Fabulous.
I would be totally relaxed and unstressed (beyond the actually pressure of learning something new) if I could find a resolution to the other rather pressing problem that I'm trying to figure out ASAP.
But, for now, studying here at the library.
* It serves Big Trains, Anna. Weep in jealousy.

Happy to hear you've found a little piece of heaven in the big city. But do they sell bismarcks in Bismarck's library?

Dang, I wish I had known about that place when I passed through last September. Of course, it was a Sunday evening so the library was probably closed.
Anyway, next time I'm out that way maybe we can meet for Gelato at the library! Sweet!

Jim, you would love this library. But yes, it would have been closed on the Sunday evening.
It's open now, though!!
Michael...ha ha. No bismarcks at the Bismarck library, but you can find them at many other Bismarck bismarck locations.
