The Liberty Memorial Building/ND State Library is currently undergoing renovations to the roof and the front staircase. Due to this, several of our entrances, the south parking lot, and the drive-up book drop are closed to accommodate the work.

When visiting, please use the west ground-floor entrance. There is an outdoor book drop at that entrance. We are also offering curbside services during open hours (8:00 AM-4:00 PM) and will send items through the mail.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at [email protected] or 701-328-4622.

We apologize for any inconvenience the construction may cause.
