Did you know the BVMPL restrooms haven’t been renovated in nearly 40 years? They’re worn, drab, and inaccessible to many community members.
BVMPL is fully renovating 12 restrooms throughout the building. Significant upgrades will create modern, durable restrooms fully accessible in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The project is a significant public-private collaboration, with $408,000 from the taxpayer-supported Library Fund. 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 to donate, visit this link.

We have lived here 38 years and the library was one of our first stops to go to in Bismarck, our children grew up at the library and it is still my favorite place to go now, as I love to read!!!
