The Bismarck Veterans Memorial Public Library is a public library located in the city of Bismarck, North Dakota. The library was opened in 1917

The campaign to build a public library began in the early 1900s, and was headed by various civil clubs and the Bismarck-Mandan Chamber of Commerce, then known as the Bismarck Commercial Club. Both groups believed the city's lack of a public library to be an embaressment, with a 1912 Bismarck Daily Tribune article commenting, "It is an astonishing fact that there is no public library in the city of Bismarck! Seldom will one find a city of this size so deficient in this respect. Nearly every town in this state, no matter how small, has a library, but Bismarck, the capital city, has none." A perminent location couldn not be found, so the second floor of the Hinckley Building was chosen as a temporary arrangment. The accumulation of books and shelves began on December 1915, and the library opened in February. Meanwhile, members of the Commercial Club requested a grant from Andrew Carnegie to build a perminent location. The Carnegie Foundation agreed to send $25,000 as long as the city of Bismarck agreed to give $2,500 per year to the library and provide a suitable build site. The city donated land on the corner of Thayer Avenue and 6th Street. Construction on the new library began in May of 1917 and finished in December.
