Welcome to the Blackfoot Public Library

Welcome to the Blackfoot Public Library—a cornerstone of our community for over 100 years and counting! As a smaller town library, we take great pride in offering a warm, welcoming space where everyone feels at home. Our team of caring librarians and dedicated board of directors works tirelessly to ensure that every visitor, from young readers to lifelong learners, finds something to inspire them. Whether you’re here to check out a beloved novel, research your next big idea, or simply enjoy a quiet space to read, our mission remains the same: to serve you, our patrons, with dedication and heart.

With shelves full of timeless classics, the latest bestsellers, educational resources, and technology to keep you connected, the Blackfoot Public Library is more than just books—it’s a gateway to knowledge for all walks of life. From children discovering the magic of stories to students diving into research, job seekers polishing their résumés, and grandparents exploring new interests, we’re here for every generation. Our past is rich, our present is vibrant, and our future is bright, thanks to the people who make this library a part of their lives. So step inside, explore, and let us be part of your story!
