Story Time

Stop in any Thursday morning — story time starts at 10:30!

Book Clubs

Our regular book club meets on the third Thursday of the month at 6:00 p.m.

Our Cookbook Book Club is held on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. We will meet every other month, and there will be a theme. Cookbooks will be ordered to fit the theme and you will check out a book, make one of the recipes and bring it to share on the night we meet. The cookbooks will be evaluated, not our cooking skills.

Please call 815-522-6260 or email us at kirklandlib@hotmail.com if you are interested in joining either of these book clubs.

Gifts and Memorials

Looking to honor a friend, remember a loved one or celebrate a special occasion? Supporting the Kirkland Public Library through a monetary donation furthers the library’s mission to share the joy of reading, discovery and creativity with the community. Your gift also allows us to honor or memorialize someone special to you.

Monetary donations may be dropped off at the library during regular business hours or mailed to us at PO Box 189, Kirkland, IL 60146.
