My first impression was to note how much it resembled “my” home library in Minot, North Dakota!  Free to All was what Andrew Carnegie believed libraries should be.

Present use of the 109 year old library is Old Library Art Studios.DSC04777

Since the studio was closed on the day I visited I could only peer through the window and snap this photo of the former library’s present use.

Again, peering through the front door I could see what appears to be the original interior entrance doors.  I’m guessing that they were originally  stained dark and have been painted.
