Bozeman Public Library, Public library in Bozeman, Montana.

Bozeman Public Library occupies a 53,000-square-foot building on East Main Street, opened in November 2006 on the former site of the Milwaukee Road passenger and freight terminal. It was the first public building in Montana to earn LEED silver certification, using natural light, local building materials and reduced construction waste. Inside are computer access, a newspaper and periodical section, a young reader area, and reading chairs and work tables; windows frame the Bridger Mountain Range.

Bozeman's first library was the Young Men's Library Association, founded in 1872 above a drug store on East Main Street. A tax-supported city library opened in 1891 on the second floor of the City Hall and Opera House. The Carnegie Library on North Bozeman Avenue served from 1903-1904 until 1980, when a building on East Lamme Street took over. A four million dollar bond passed in 2001 funded the current East Main Street building, opened in November 2006 on former Milwaukee Road railroad land.

The library serves as a gathering place where residents of different ages participate in author talks, workshops, and reading sessions. These gatherings connect the community around shared interests and learning experiences.

Gallatin County residents receive free library access with computers and WiFi connection available. The space is well-equipped for extended work, study, and research with reliable digital tools.

Through the MontanaLibrary2Go service, visitors gain access to digital historical documents and regional publications. This offering makes local archive materials and Montana history resources available online.
