What you get from The Kootenai depends on what you put into it. With four seasons — each with its own pursuits for pleasure — there is the potential for huge return on your investment. Warm to hot summers and cold, powder-filled winters characterize the area, though precipitation is usually well distributed through the year.
On average, there are 152 sunny days per year in Libby. The July high is around 84 degrees, and average January low is 21 degrees. Libby gets approximately 22 inches of rain per year, and our snowfall average is 45 inches. The average number of days with any measurable precipitation is 112.
Home of the Libby Loggers, the Libby School District comprises one elementary school, one middle school, one alternative school and one high school. These schools strive to develop self-motivated, lifelong learners. Strong student-teacher ratios, a wide array of extracurricular activities and special programs, top-notch teachers and challenging upper-level courses are the secret to success.
Libby Elementary School has received many accolades in recent years, including the 2016 National Distinguished Principal Award for Montana.
Libby also houses Flathead Valley Community College’s Lincoln County campus. Offering the same educational opportunities as the main campus in Kalispell, Montana, students can jumpstart their undergraduate degree, earn a technical degree, retrain for a new profession through workforce development or explore personal interests with non-credit courses.
