The construction of the new parking ramp on the northeast corner of Thayer Avenue and Sixth Street has generated a renewed interest in the original Carnegie Library building, which had been located on this site. The Carnegie building was built in 1917 and replaced a circulating library that had been maintained in the Commercial Club rooms. From these humble beginnings, the Bismarck Public Library has grown into the busy hub of learning, technology, and community gathering that it is today.
The presentation is co-sponsored by the Bismarck Historical Society and the Bismarck Public Library. It will be held on Wednesday, April 8 at 6:30pm in Meeting Room A at the public library.
