Calling all mystery lovers! Come along to our group to meet up with others and discuss your favorite mystery authors. In February the group will discuss the books of Paul Doiron. Feel free to read one or more books by the author (the library has copies) and come ready to discuss their work. The group is open to all. No registration required.

‘Tis the season for coziness. Grab a blanket, your fluffy socks, and your favorite warm drink or snack! Log your reading to earn badges January 15-March 18.

Join Miss Sparkles live for an online story time, or watch later when it works best for you.

This story time focuses on songs and books because we are teaching children to love and appreciate stories, and we are also helping them learn how to attend a library story time. Singing also helps develop language, sounds, and patterns, which all builds on your child's early literacy skills. There are no puppets used during Toddler Story Time so that the focus can be on the stories, songs, and books.

Looking for the doggone paw-fect valentine? Join us at the Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library on February 14 between 5:30pm-7:00pm on the Main Floor to spend time with nationally certified therapy dogs and handlers through Love on a Leash.

Walk-in hours are times when library staff is present, and technology and gaming are available to use in HQ. During regular Library hours when walk-in times are not available, HQ will be available for individual or group study by teens in grades 6-12 by accessing a key from the Adult Information Desk. Teens are required to show a school or photo ID to Library staff in order to use the room. If teens do not have a school ID, they can ask to have one made by the Library staff. They should stop by the Children's Information Desk to inquire. Electronics and other select items are only available for check-out use during HQ walk-in hours when the room is monitored by Library staff or volunteers.

Enjoy an evening of crafting in HQ. All supplies will be provided for participants.
