📖 About Montfort & Allie B. Jones Bristow Public Library
The Montfort & Allie B. Jones Bristow Public Library is the public library of Bristow, a Route 66 town in Creek County, Oklahoma, roughly halfway between Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Library service in Bristow dates to 1912, when the town's Culture Club opened its first reading room in the American National Bank Building; a Carnegie library followed in 1919, and the collection moved through several homes before the current building at 111 West 7th Avenue opened in 2000. The library carries the names of benefactors Montfort and Allie B. Jones. In 2023 it opened the Choska Talfa Research Room — named with the Muscogee (Creek) word for "Oak Town," the original settlement name of the area — dedicated to Indigenous and local history. The library participates in the Oklahoma Virtual Library, so a Bristow card unlocks free eBooks and audiobooks through OverDrive and Libby alongside its on-site collection.
