The lower-level reading room of the Montana State Library will close to the public on Monday, July 10, 2017.  Because of cuts to the State Library budget of nearly $310,000 in fiscal year 2018, and anticipated cuts of an additional $680,000 if revenue triggers are hit in mid-August, the State Library Commission voted to close the reading room and replace it with more targeted public access services that will be located on the main floor. The cost-savings measure will save the State Library more than $100,000 in rent and related costs.  The Department of Administration intends to find other occupants for the space.

The Montana State Library Commission will host a public meeting beginning at 2 p.m. Tuesday, June 6, to take comments on a draft of the state library’s budget reduction plan.
