Used Book Sales

Our twice-yearly used book sales raise thousands of dollars annually, funds which directly support programs and services above and beyond the library's operating budget. Recent programs and projects supported by the Friends include: a state-of-the-art 3-D printer for Teen HQ, providing 6th-12th graders an opportunity to experience emerging technologies; colorful book-themed window art on the library's new 6th Street windows; ongoing operations of the mobile library, program, providing library access to Bismarck residents who may not be able to visit the library in person; and much more!
