It's never too early to start sharing books, songs, and stories with your child!

In addition to our fabulous book, audiobooks, films, and play spaces, we offer five classes each week (Tuesday-Saturday) designed to support your child's early development and help caregivers connect with each other.

Children's Room

The Children's Room contains two family restrooms, each equipped with a changing table and diaper exchange. You are welcome to breast or bottle feed your child at the Library, or provide your child with snacks.

We recommend dressing your child in play clothes that can get dirty, as we frequently offer kids paint and other messy materials during early literacy classes.

Book Bundles

Would you like the personal shopper experience for your library materials? Call (406)582-2404 to order a bundle of books customized to your interests. Please have your library card number handy when you call and allow up to 24 hours for your bundle to be ready.

Storytime

The Library offers storytime five days a week (Tuesday-Saturday). Sing, rhyme, read, and dance with your little one, and then stay for community, sensory exploration, and playtime!
