📖 About Stutsman County Library
<p>Stutsman County Library at 910 5th St SE in Jamestown operates as the county branch within the James River Valley Library System (JRVLS), which also serves the city through the landmark Alfred Dickey Public Library nearby. While the Alfred Dickey library is a city-funded institution with expanded hours, Stutsman County Library specifically delivers service supported by county property taxes, extending public library access to rural Stutsman County residents who may not live within Jamestown city limits. The branch maintains weekday afternoon hours year-round and shares the JRVLS catalog, digital resources, and programming network. Stutsman County is named for Enos Stutsman, a territorial legislator who helped draft North Dakota's organic law, and the region's agricultural and ranching heritage shapes the community the library serves.</p>
