Bemidji Public Library and the Headwaters Science Center

Present Raptors Rule

Get ready for a jaw-dropping experience as the Bemidji Public Library and the Headwaters Science Center team up to present "Raptors Rule" - an awe-inspiring display of Minnesota's live raptors as part of the 2023 summer reading program. Come and experience these magnificent creatures up close and personal on Friday, June 30th, at 1:00 p.m. at the library, located at 509 America Avenue, Bemidji.

Our partnership with the Headwaters Science Center promises to be a fantastic event as we showcase three of Minnesota's majestic raptors: the O’Rielly Owl, Red-Tailed Hawk, and Oswald, a Great Horned Owl. You don't want to miss this free event as we explore the natural habitat and lifestyles of these magnificent creatures.

But that's not all - the Bemidji Public Library has a range of free events lined up for the rest of our summer reading program. Whether you're young or young at heart, we have something for everyone. Join us on July 7th for Women in STEM, July 21st for All About Eagles and Gardening at the Library, and July 28th for our Talent Show, and be a part of the fun-filled experience.

Our library is not just about fun and games; we also take pride in enriching the lives of our community. That's why we offer a wide range of services to our patrons, including WIFI, fax, printing, copying, and our legal kiosk. We are proud to say that this program and many others are made possible through the generosity of the Friends of the Bemidji Public Library, who work tirelessly to support the mission and purpose of our library.
