Welcome to the Billings Public Library!

Located in beautiful downtown Billings, MT, the Billings Public Library strives to be a place of exploration, education, and inclusiveness that provides entertainment, research resources, computer technology, digitization services, and educational opportunities for our community.

The Billings Public Library is open to the public. Monday - Friday 9:00am - 8:00pm, Saturday 9:00am - 5:00pm

Summer is in full swing at the Billings Public Library, and the energy in the building is amazing. We've already seen record signups for our Summer Reading Program, and it's been so fun to watch people of all ages jump into reading, learning, and creating. In addition to programs happening at the library every day, you'll also find us out in the community through seasonal outreach, including the Bike Library at events and programs across Billings. If you haven't joined the fun yet, there's still time!

A huge thank-you to the local businesses and organizations that have sponsored summer reading prizes and programs this year. Your support adds so much value to what we can offer and helps make the library a vibrant part of Billings.

This spring, the BPL was honored as Montana Library of the Year for our work to expand access through our 24/7 Library Express Lockers. We serve more than 170,000 people across a 2,600-square-mile area, and these lockers have made it easier than ever for people to connect with library materials closer to home, and on their own schedules.

We're also celebrating the success of the CO+LAB, our all-ages makerspace that opened in October. Since then, thousands of people, from toddlers to seniors, have explored 3D printing, laser cutting, sound recording, digital design, and more. It's been incredible to see the creativity, curiosity, and collaboration in action.

Thank you for making the library part of your summer. We hope to see you soon!
