Our library is located close to downtown  Malad City, Idaho, next to the city park.  Because of the generous donations of many, including the Redfield Foundation, we have a new children's addition.  We have a collection of over 26,000 items including books, magazines, reference materials, videos, DVDs, music CDs, and audio books.  Our library system is automated so it is easy to search our computers for titles, authors, subjects, series, teacher book lists,  and even accelerated reading.  We also offer free Internet access on our computers.

Extending Grab Bags!

The Oneida County Library has received a grant from the F.M., Anne G., and Beverly B. Bistline Foundation. This grant is to fund grab ‘n go STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Arts, Mathematics) for all youth in our community ages 0-17 during the COVID-19 restrictions.  There are no requirements except to sign up online and come to the library and get your bag!  We ask that you sign up on our online form so that we know how many bags to put together and what ages to prepare.   We will start grab ‘n go bags again on September 14th, and you can get one for your child each week for six weeks.  Sign up forms will be on our Facebook page and our website http:oneidacountylibrary.org
