Billings Public Library -- embracing, empowering, and enriching our community. Established in 1901, the first library was donated to the city by the Billings family in memory of Parmly Billings, eldest son of Frederick Billings, for whom the city of Billings was named. Today, you can find books, DVDs, audiobooks, digital downloads and much more at the Library. In fact, you can even use the Library from our website, participate in book discussions and maker programs, or check out the bookmobile or senior services when they come to your neighborhood.
