Making Connections with Our Community | |
The Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library had a busy month with outreach events. The library had informational tables at Capital Pride and the 2nd Annual Bismarck Juneteenth event. Our youth services staff also attended the ND Department of Public Instruction’s Summer Reading Kickoff on the Capitol Lawn. We appreciate opportunities to interact with citizens about the great services and programs available at the library! | | |

Summer Adventures Begin With Your Free Library Card!
Your free Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library card opens up a world of entertainment, learning, discovery, and personal enrichment -- the library is much more than books. For the summer months, you can check out North Dakota State Park Day Passes, Fishing Poles, Children's Life Vests, Pickleball Sets and Disc Golf Kits! Call 355-1480 or stop by the Circulation Desk to find out about these unique items and more.
