Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library is proud to be chosen by the American Library Association to participate in Let's Talk About It: Women's Suffrage. These books will get us talking about the history of women's suffrage in the U.S. The book for September will be The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow.

NASA’s Artemis Project: To the Moon, Mars, and Beyond! is a nationwide reading challenge sponsored by the Space Science Institute. We challenge our patrons to keep track of their reading during the challenge on our Beanstack site. Hundreds of libraries across the nation will be reading and learning alongside us for a chance to win circulation backpacks of STEM-related resources from the Space Science Institute.

Enjoy a free family movie. Movie Days coincide with days off at Bismarck Public Schools. Children under age 10 must be accompanied by a caregiver aged 12+. Drinks are welcome in the Story Room, but no food please.

Trained Lions Club members will be onsite with state of the art equipment to offer vision screening for children as young as six months. Screening can detect up to six vision issues. This screening is offered as a complimentary service by the Lions Club of North Dakota.

This story time for the entire family focuses on books, puppets, and songs.

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 items are only available for check-out use during HQ walk-in hours when the room is monitored by Library staff or volunteers.
