Find Your Something: Katherine Klimitas

Important Update Regarding Meeting Usage During Library Renovation

During 2026, we will be undergoing a renovation to better serve the people of Dearborn County. 

Due to the renovation, access to the Youth Services Department will be closed to the public during January and February. You will still be able to use the Ewbank Meeting Room throughout this closure, but our procedures for using the room have been modified:

  • Please enter the library via the High St. entrance. This entrance provides direct access to the Ewbank Meeting Room only. To access other areas of the library, you must use the Mary St. or Parking Lot entrances.
  • Once inside, please call our Adult Services Department at 812-537-2775 Ext. 1125. Let us know that you have arrived and provide your group's name. A staff member will come to unlock the room for your group.
  • If you need any assistance at any time during your meeting, please call 812-537-2775 Ext. 1125 and a staff member will come to help.
  • When your meeting has finished, please call 812-537-2775 Ext. 1125 again to let us know. Please leave your clipboard in the room. A staff member will come to lock the room and collect the clipboard. There is no need to wait for us.

We are excited to share our upgraded spaces with you once renovations are complete. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your library.

Program Description

Meet Katherine Klimitas, artist, public speaker, author and graphic designer.

At 2 feet, 7 inches tall, Katherine has Osteogenesis Imperfecta, better known as Brittle Bone Disease. She gets around in an electric wheelchair. By age 10, she had broken 500+ bones. But there was no way Katherine and her parents  were going to let her disease dictate her happiness.

During her senior year at Loyola University, she started KAK Art & Designs, and has owned the business for nearly a decade. 

Listen as Katherine tells her inspirational story via Zoom, complete with both physical and emotional challenges, and how finding her place in the art world helped her navigate every obstacle thrown her in her way. She also will answer questions at the end of her presentation.
