Summer Events at the Library

Here is an updated calendar of the events we are offering this summer at the Bowman Regional Public Library! Please note: due to limited space and supplies, registration is required. You may register by calling us at 701-523-3797 or emailing us at bowlib@gmail.com. Each event will run twice so be sure to specify which day/time you are registering for.

Calling or emailing is the best way to secure your registration, as social media comments and messages may be accidentally missed, and we cannot guarantee that they will be received in time if events fill up fast.

  • First off, Summer Reading has begun, and we have fun challenges for all ages. You may grab a challenge to track on paper at the library, or head to bowmanlibrary.beanstack.org to participate online! Read books, track your progress, and earn prizes along the way! Summer Reading challenges will run until August 8th.
  • Next, we will be bringing back our Tuesday Take-n-Makes in June! Every Tuesday by 1 pm a new craft will be put out in our Take-n-Make bin in front of the library.
