HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM
BISMARCK VETERANS MEMORIAL PUBLIC LIBRARY
AND BURLEIGH COUNTY LIBRARY!

Thank you to the more than 100 generous friends who have already donated to BVMPL's restroom renovation campaign! With this groundswell of support, we're getting closer and closer to our destination: modern, durable, fully accessible restrooms throughout the building.
As we enter the final leg of our journey, this is your last chance to pull off at a rest stop and contribute to the facilities. After nearly 40 years with no restroom improvements at the library, we know you can't hold your generosity any longer.
Can we count on you to make a donation today? The Bismarck Library Foundation, Inc. is leading the effort to raise the remaining $550,000 from the community. To learn more about the project and make a gift, visit this link.

The library is an integral space and place for connection and learning, and an important resource hub for all folks in our community.
