Bowling Green Missouri Public Library

Bowling Green Missouri Public Library What is more important in a public library than anything else - than everything else - is the fact that it exists. ~ Archibald MacLeish.

The Bowling Green Library has been through some changes recently! We are now a Missouri Evergreen library. Our library has much to offer the public; from books, magazines and movies to services such as faxes, public notary, public computers/Wifi and test preparation. So whether you want to read good book, to watch a good movie, or just to spend some quiet time the library is your answer, and the o

nly ticket you need is a library card. Library cards are free to citizens of Bowling Green, Missouri. For those outside the city limits, individual memberships are $20 or family memberships are available for $40.
