The BSC Library is a member of ODIN (Online Dakota Information Network), a statewide library network of academic, public, school, state agency, and special libraries. The library is also a member of OCLC, a worldwide library cooperative. More than 57,000 libraries in 112 countries and territories use OCLC services to locate, acquire, catalog, lend, and preserve library materials. Research materials not available in the BSC Library collections can generally be obtained via interlibrary loan for current BSC students, faculty, and staff members.

Public access computers, Internet and e-mail access, an instructional lab (Information Skills classroom), microfilm reader/printers, VCRs and DVD players, study rooms, and study areas are available for library users. ODIN and the library's online databases can be accessed 24/7 via the BSC Library Web site.

The BSC Library building is located in the northwest corner of the campus. It houses the BSC Library, BSC Archives, North Dakota Career & Technical Curriculum Library, classrooms, faculty offices, and the Clell and Ruth Gannon Art Gallery.

The Clell and Ruth Gannon Gallery in the BSC Library was dedicated in February 1981. Art exhibits are changed periodically during the academic year and provide students and other visitors an opportunity to view many types of art. Shows range from traveling exhibits of works by nationally known artists to shows by local, regional, faculty, and student artists.

The library sponsors an annual book discussion series, BookTalk at BSC, and also hosts events such as readings by visiting writers and art openings.

Community members are welcome to use the library and apply for a library card.
