One of the best hidden gems in Bismarck Mandan. I was buying a book series that cost about $50 a piece until I realized that they had the entire series ! In addition they have board games, comic books, and movies too. Definitely worth checking out and supporting our local library.

Since I started classes at United tribes I have been spending a lot of time at the local library. I like the tiny coffee shop and the staff is always most helpful! U do the community a great good and I thank u!

Very clean and professional staff. Massive book volume. Peaceful and encouraging environment.

A great place to check out a good book. I highly recommend stopping at the Gifted Bean Coffee House, which is located inside the Bismarck Veterans Memorial Library, after you have made your literary selection. This library offers many child developmental activities, such as book readings with Ms. Sparkles, that are both fun and educational. My kids especially love to leave messages for Ms. Sparkles and Colette in their respective mailboxes.
