Well, big college town in that UM plays a big part in the local culture. 
As far as population, around 75,000 which is only big in Montana.

They built a new library which was to open in 2020 but covid delayed it. 
There is a Makerspace, a kids' educational area, meeting rooms, a lot of 
digital stuff, and so forth. I'm not sure they have more physical books 
than the old library but it manages to take up 4 floors. 

The ebook collection is quite large which means I don't physically visit 
as much as I used to. I can either download books through the Libby app or 
they are routed through Amazon. 

The downside of the college town thing is the official city flag is a 
rainbow, the state rep from one of the wards is a trannie, and the 
subreddit leans very far left. Bernie Sanders has been here twice and drew 
a big crowd each time. Trump got a good turnout too but the city is in no 
way representative of the rest of the state politically. 

Anyway, I hope it takes off. I'll probably go to see what's up even if I 
don't have a Windows 10 box.
