To solve this one, the Green Thumb Detective agency is looking for the best puzzle solvers in town. Every year, the City of Kenai holds an underground contest for the Best Plant, and this year was the library's year to win! But disaster has struck, and our plant has gone missing. It’s up to you and your friends to help the detectives find the plant within 30 minutes and bring it back before the judging begins. Registration is required. Groups of up to 6 can sign up, with two 30-minutes slots per day. If you do not sign up for 6 places, you may be placed into a session with other groups. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your designated time. Designed for ages 8-18.

Time Slots: 5:00-5:30pm and 5:45-6:15pm

The Kenai Community Library invites the community to create a garden of your favorite books! Stop by the front desk during this week to pick up a strip of paper - your "book spine" - and write your favorite book title on the strip. Then add it to our garden wall to share it with others.

We're excited to get up and get moving EVERY TUESDAY at the library with stories, songs, and silly fun that encourages your toddler's language skills!

Intended for young children ages birth to three years and their parents or caregivers, this program focuses on early language and social skills through fun stories, songs, and play time.

Stop by our community room to make a craft and/or play a board game! Supplies and instructions provided for the crafts, just bring your imagination! Board games are also provided.

Tech time is available at the Kenai Community Library for anyone with basic technology questions. We can help you with basic computer skills, accessing library resources, how to access eBooks and audiobooks, using devices such as eReaders, tablets, and smartphones, digital photos, social media, and email. *We do not take apart or repair devices, assist with financial transactions, or handle malware/viruses. While we will do our best to assist you with your technology needs, these are offered to allow you to expand your skills, not as a replacement for commercial tech support. Appointments required.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays

The Kenai Community Library is partnering with the Food Bank of Alaska and distributing FREE pre-packaged lunches to all children 18 and under. No requirements, all kids welcome! We will provide a non-congregate meal service this year, meaning that during this distribution time, each child picks up 7 meals to eat at home throughout the next week. Child must be present to pick up meals. This program begins on May 26th and ends on August 11th. This program is made possible by the Food Bank of Alaska. This institution and its partners are equal opportunity providers.
