It has seem to be such a secretive place for so long it is nice that it is opening up more for outside events. There are a variety of rooms for meetings and receptions. There is even a chapel. There are also 2 auditoriums, which will be used for the world choir games. It has such a historical old world feel inside the place, older than the building is. For the world choir games, besides some of the newer theatre's it is great that we do have some older (although still young by most of the world standards) auditoriums to show off. If you get a chance to visit the masonic temple, try to see if you can get a tour, it is well worth the visit and an option for a special event or a work meeting, it you want something that is different and full of history.

The two women working there when my family and I visited the last time were funny and intelligent. We enjoyed talking with them and hearing about the history of the library.

You won't be disappointed if you stop by here- especially if you are a mystery writer! TIPS- The staff was quick to point out to me that even though the overdue fines are 10 cents per day, it's only 30 cents per week since they are only open three days! Oh yeah- they are only open three days a week, so check the hours before making a special trip!

They hold wonderful yearly events, weekly farmers markets in the summer, and have recently introduced a DORA (designated outdoor drinking area). There are many local businesses that have pride in their community and strongly support eachother. When downtown suffered a fire, that sadly damaged several businesses, the community truly stepped up. When a recent flood infiltrated several buildings, the neighbors jumped into action! There are gorgeous parks, and the bike trail runs through here. Downtown has free parking in many areas (some with time limits). Police and fire contribute greatly to the strength of this community. It is a safe city. The chamber of commerce has a great presence as well. I managed a business in this city for a while and the people really make it a special place. Could I continue to gush about it? Sure! But the best way is for you to check it out for yourself!
