Fargo Public Library - Carlson

Construction continues on the 15,000-square-foot Dr. James Carlson Library at 2801 32nd Ave. S. This full-service branch will replace the current Southpointe branch. The Carlson Library, which is approximately four times the size of the current Southpointe, will open late in 2007. The Carlson Library will be built in conjunction with the Clapp Park Senior Center, as the Fargo Public Library is in partnership with the Fargo Park District on this project. The joint facility will have access to the Clapp Park for outdoor programming and activities.

Included in this new library is a meeting room with seating for 70, a conference room for smaller meetings, three study rooms to support collaborative learning, as well as a greatly expanded children's area.
