February 13^th through 19^th is Love Our Library week at the Klamath County Libraries!

The downtown Klamath County Library has lots of activities for kids while school is closed for winter break:

The downtown Klamath County Library is holding a Minecraft build contest for kids and teens in November!

We want to see your coolest, most tricked-out secret forts. (Thoughtful décor? Awesome! Devious traps? Rad!) We’ll be judging entries in three age categories: Ages 5 to 8, Ages 9 to 12, and Ages 13-18. Winners in each category will win a $20 gift card to a local gaming shop.

April is Dinosaur Month at the Klamath County libraries! RAWR! Celebrate the mighty beasts of prehistory!

Let's grow a baby bean plant! Kids ages 12 and under can get a taste of gardening to celebrate spring.

We'll start our bean adventure on Thursday, May 7th at 5pm, where we'll set a bean up to sprout -- your choice of a Strike Snap Bush Bean, Provider Bush Bean or a Lima Bean -- in a sandwich bag. Two weeks later on May 21st at 5pm, we'll meet again to plant our tiny baby bean plants into biodegradable pots to work on their roots.

(To get the full experience, it's important to be present at both events!)
