Watch your summer dreams take flight at your Bozeman Public Library. We're exploring stories, science, art, and the natural world with fun for kids of all ages. Kids who read, learn, and play all summer long go back to school in the fall ready to rock and roll. Join us for nine weeks of free family fun!

How Does It Work?

  • Come play! We offer a wide-variety of special programs for youth of all ages and their grown ups. Enjoy our fabulous playspaces during all library open hours.
  • Read & explore! Stop by the library or bookmobile anytime to pick up your Summer Guidebook & Gameboard which include a full schedule of events, a place to set and track your own reading goals, and invitations to explore.
  • Free book! Kids and teens can visit the Children’s Room anytime this summer to pick out a free book, courtesy of the Friends of the Bozeman Public Library.

Which programs are right for me?

All youth services programs are designed with kids' developmental needs and interests in mind. Some programs may include tools and materials not suited for younger children.
