Did You Know?
 
Picking up holds from another library? Start by finding the library's barcode - it can be on the front or back cover. If it belongs to a Gallatin County library other than Bozeman Public Library, scan that barcode at the self-checkout machine. If it’s from BPL, simply place the item on the self-checkout pad- the RFID tag will be read automatically.
