Renovation Update On The Bozman Library

The new Bozman Library, formerly known as Plaza Library, is currently under renovation and will be re-imagined as a full-service branch.

Due to construction delays, the library will not open its doors as planned this summer but now in early 2023.

Highlights of the redesign will include contemporary furnishings, a new children’s book and media collection, and space for library programming such as storytimes and author talks.

We look forward to sharing more information about the new full-service branch in the new year.
