Bennington Public Library

We have reopened and are ready to serve you in our new location, 11401 North 156th Street (south end of the same building)!

We are finishing up getting our new space ready for the unveiling and can’t wait to see everybody!  Please continue to return any library materials in our book drop at the new entrance and get your next picks ready for when we reopen on Monday, the 16th!

We are proud to announce the launch of the new Bennington Public Library logo as part of our ongoing transformation. Andrea Prine, who grew up in Bennington, created our new logo. Inspirations come in many forms. Read how Andrea found her inspiration…

The Bennington Library is offering a special program for elementary students, K-3 who may need extra one-on-one reading time.  The “little buddies” will spend 45 minutes with their “big buddies” reading aloud in the comfortable and safe environment of the library.

Program dates are:

First and Third Saturdays @ 11:00 AM

High School volunteers needed. 

Little and Big Buddies looking to sign up can contact the library.

We have just added the resource Jobs for Teens to our webpage!  A great source for teenagers to find that first job or perhaps a second source of income.  Just click on the Resources and Links tab on our site and then follow the prompt to click on the logo.  Peruse job opportunities at businesses such as Yankee Candle, CVS, Bonefish Grill, Firehouse Subs, and more.

Happy Hunting
