Get to know the Montana State Library

The Montana State Library (MSL) helps all organizations, communities, and Montanans thrive through excellent library resources and services.

We meet this mission by:

• Providing comprehensive information about Montana’s natural resources and heritage
• Consistently collecting and standardizing commonly available land information
• Fulfilling the information needs of state agency employees
• Preserving state publications
• Improving public library services
• Promoting cooperation among all Montana libraries of all types
• Providing reading materials to those with physical disabilities

This mission statement was adopted in 2022 as part of an agency campaign to build awareness of MSL and its services.
