Noel Wien Public Library, Public library in Fairbanks, United States.
The Noel Wien Public Library is a public library in Fairbanks, Alaska, holding over 100,000 titles. It serves as the second-largest library collection in the entire North Star Borough region.
The facility grew out of a reading room at St. Matthew's Episcopal Mission, which became the George C. Thomas Memorial Library in 1909. This early service evolved over time into the library that stands here today.
The library displays an international art collection that visitors can discover while browsing. This adds another layer to how the space feels when you walk through it.
The library provides free internet access, computers, and printing services for all visitors. There are also meeting spaces available, and the location on Cowles Street makes it easy to find.
The main entrance is decorated with ceramic tiles designed like book spines, created through a community art project. This creative effort raised 80,000 dollars for library improvements.
