I found Carrie's listing for a DIY glass fusing kit and reached out about setting up a team building event. Immediately Carrie was supportive and explored possibilities to make the kit customized with colors and decals. She was an abundant source of information and knowledge that help me coordinate an event for ~30 people all over the United States. Carrie was able to get all of our kits out and gave us clear instructions on putting them together. Everyone loved their creations and keepsake from this event. As the main coordinator of my team fun events this type of an event is very complex with logistics and planning. It was such a pleasure to work with Carrie on this and I would highly recommend working with her on any future event

I sort of arrived in Fairbanks on a whim without a specific deadline for completing my explorations…read moreof a few national parks in the region I had been interested in visiting. This Noel Wien Public Library was the perfect place to not only relax but take my time performing research and learning how best to navigate Gates of the Arctic and Kobuk Valley National Parks. Initially, I didn't know even what to expect out of the library. I understood that Fairbanks was a large city and a proper starting point location for flying out to the remote national parks I had in mind. Ultimately, choosing to come here was a winning formula. The library is spacious with tons of area for privacy and studying. There are public computers dispersed all around to use the internet. The tables and desks have electrical outlets for charging phones, laptops and electronics. Wi-Fi works really fast as well. I was so impressed with how much I got accomplished. After booking and making the journey to Gates of the Arctic and Kobuk Valley, I still returned back here for taking a mental break from the action. I even took time to write some Yelp reviews and share experiences I was excited to talk about. You can say one of my saving graces in Alaska and being in Fairbanks for an entire month was this Fairbanks Library. Getting time alone to concentrate and efficiently discover worthwhile parks, hiking trails and glacial tours had me feeling a sense of fulfilment. For using computers, all you do is pick up a slip at the front Information Desk and then choose an unoccupied terminal and type in the password code. You get 2 free hours and if you need more time, you can walk back to the front and ask for another slip, which they'll happily hand to you. And...there were (what seemed like) an infinite amount of computer desks here. There was always a spot available. This Fairbanks Library was far superior in comparison to the Anchorage Library, which I also frequented later on to learn about more hikes, tours and expeditions. Just to speak briefly about Anchorage's Library, it was a startling mess with homeless people using the bathrooms for cleansing themselves and their belongings. It was flat out scary and disappointing. But back here at Fairbanks, it's centrally located in the heart of the city. You're not far from restaurants, sights and attractions. They're open 6 days of the week. Sunday = closed. Friday Hours are only 1pm - 6pm. Otherwise almost all other days' openings are 10am till closing around evening time. I can't thank this Fairbanks Library enough for acting as my home base/focus hub for planning exciting adventures around Alaska. Regularly stopping by over the summertime turned out to be my spiritual sanctuary for gathering ideas about where to go and what to do next. Alaska is a marvelously vast land and the ultimate "last frontier". Without utilizing the library here, I would have been left lost and overwhelmed.

There's a Pluto pull over and park as well as signs and things that explain how the pipeline works and things like that. It's also right across the street from Gold Daughters, which was a great place to go panning for gold. If you want to see the pipeline (and you should if you're visiting Alaska), this is a good place to go.

The Cafeteria was open, albeit with limited selections, but we didn't care. While we "dined" and afterwards, we admired the big windows, the amount of light, and lots of space for sitting or socializing. I took special note of a history display that noted a 1972 Leonard Nimoy appearance, where he stated that voting for Richard Nixon was "Not Logical".
