Mayor Ward sits down with FNSB Library Director Melissa Harter to talk about how boredom led to the founding of the Fairbanks’ first library (hint: it was a reading/smoking room!). Also discussed on the podcast is the beloved Bookmobile, which brings library materials to the farthest reaches of the Borough. Did you know that Fairbanks is the only community in Alaska with a Bookmobile? Finally, Melissa talks about the future plans for the Noel Wien Library and what residents might expect to see soon.
