📖 About Glendive Public Library
The Glendive Public Library serves as the public library of Glendive, the Dawson County seat and gateway to Montana's Makoshika State Park badlands. Glendive grew up around the Northern Pacific Railway in the 1880s, and the library has long anchored civic life in this isolated corner of eastern Montana. The building at 200 S Kendrick Avenue houses a circulating collection of books, audiobooks, DVDs and periodicals, complemented by public internet computers, printing and scanning services, and a bookable community room. Through the Montana Shared Catalog, patrons can search holdings from libraries across the state and place holds for delivery. The library's digital card unlocks MTLibrary2Go — more than 25,000 downloadable eBooks and audiobooks via OverDrive — and the statewide Wi-Fi signal extends 24 hours a day in the parking area for after-hours access. Exam proctoring services, available by appointment, make the library a resource for online students throughout Dawson County.
