FAQ

Why does the library need extra funds to make the necessary improvements? While the future of the Library system is ensured at current levels, the Library Service District does not provide enough funding to make the capital improvements needed to serve our growing community. Making these upgrades will allow the library to make the most of existing resources, operate more efficiently and serve more patrons!

How many people use the Library? Last year, library cardholders checked out over 300,000 books. Children's programs brought 15,000 eager participants to the library, and weekly story time continues to one of the most popular programs for little ones and their parents. In addition, adult educational programs attract a growing audience of those interested in local history, science and other timely topics. In addition to the Main Library, 10 branches serve residents throughout Klamath County in Glichrist, Chemult, Chiloquin, Sprauge River, Bly, South Suburbs, Keno, Merrill and Bonanza. The Klamath County Library is a vibrant, dynamic member of our community, dedicated to providing free access to information, ideas and opportunities to all of our citizens.
