Another great service the library provides is the Bookmobile,
which visits nearly 30 locations in Cascade County delivering
books to children, seniors, and others every week.
The library is currently open Monday – Saturday, but
beginning in Summer 2024, it will remain open seven days
a week. A drive-up book pickup window is available in the
alleyway for people who don't have time to enter the building to
get their materials.
If you cannot find a book you're looking for at the library,
chances are a partner library may have it. In 2022, the library
joined the MSC Partners Resource Sharing Group. Each partner
library opens its collections to the cardholders of all partner
libraries. Within the consortium, a partner library cardholder
in one community can reserve and check out items from a
neighboring community or from a library several hundred
miles away.
Cardholders have access to many more materials and to
more diverse collections than any one library could offer. There
are more than 20 partner libraries making it a valuable resource
available to patrons across the partnership. You can also use
your library card at any of the other partner libraries.
The library also rents audio books, electronic books, and
more available to anyone with a library card through the
Libby app. Libby provides access to more than 30,000 audio
or e-books. You can listen or read on your smart device by
downloading the Libby app or in your computer's browser at
www.libbyapp.com/library/montana.
Card holders can also access automotive repair information
through Chilton Library, an online database available at the
Great Falls Public Library. On the library website you can
access Chilton's manuals in an easy-to-use, online database.
Simply select a year, make, and model of vehicle to instantly
see repair manuals, diagrams, maintenance tables, recalls
and bulletins.
The Library website, www.greatfallslibrary.org, has access
to more information such as a full calendar of events and
programs, library news, and a full listing of materials available
for check out. You can also sign up for the weekly Wowbrary
Newsletter with the latest events and the newest books/
magazines available or coming soon! For updates on what's
happening at the library, find them on Facebook and Instagram,
or call them at 406-453-0349.
