They have table seating and couch seating. The lower part of the bar can be busier but if the mezzanine isn't rented out for private events, there are usually people reading, working on homework, playing chess. It's usually not busy in the afternoons (they open at 4pm). If you're over 21, Front Street Taproom has a super cozy mezzanine that overlooks the rest of the bar. They also have a little cafe to get a drink/coffee before you enter the library proper (unsure about the hours of that place though). Lots of awesome window/view spots if you want a view or individual study rooms if you want no distractions. The Fargo Library is the best bet for total concentration. it's just the other places have an almost 100% chance of not being interrupted with whatever you're focused on ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Sometimes I get interrupted by people asking for money (even if I have headphones in and I'm tucked away in the corner). I like Babbs, but I can't seem to get a lot of work done there because they only have so many tables and I don't like to work sitting on couches, also depending on day/time, there are A LOT of groups and busy conversations taking place whereas the other two have lots of 1-on-1 and solo customers.Ītomic Coffee is open the latest (10pm I think) and has lots of table seating, so they win on that one, but it's hit or miss for me. The busier crowd is almost worth it for the atmosphere and good music they play. Moderately busy, but they have window seating and plenty of booth/high top seating.

The workers are super friendly and have great suggestions. They also have nice window seating that gets a lot of sun. They're only open until 4pm, but the afternoons have maybe 1 or 2 other people.
