The Klamath County Comissioners have approved the design for the addition to the Main Library of an expanded Children's Area.

The addition will be built in place of the currently unused walled courtyard that sits on the corner of 3rd Street and Klamath Avenue. The addition has been described by architect Doug Skelton as a "light tower" design and will involve a large open space with high ceilings and wall of windows. There will be a tiered seating area for story time activites and the floors will have radiant heating making them comfortable for children to sit on. Accessibility will be improved with the addition to the 3rd Street entrance of the library of geothermal sidewalks and a wheelchair ramp.

The Klamath County Library Foundation raised $450,000 to be used for funding the project along with existing library reserve funds.
