Book Clubs
Book Clubs are starting up again.
Please call if you are a library patron and would like to join either of these book clubs.
Our regular book club meets on the third Thursday of the month at 6:00 p.m.
We are also planning on restarting our Cookbook Book Club. This will be held on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. We will meet every other month beginning in April 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 with “cookbook club” in the subject line if you are interested in joining.
USED BOOKS
Please do not drop books that you no longer want in our Book Drop. Our space is very limited and we do not have room for these books. Please consider contacting another library to see if they would be interested in them or donating them to a woman’s shelter, assisted living facility, or to a church for their rummage sale. I would love to have every book on our shelves, but it’s just not possible.
Drop Box
DROP BOX WILL BE LOCKED OUT OVER ALL HOLIDAYS —
We lock our drop box over all holidays as we’ve had trash thrown in and books damaged. Please remember this and return your items either before or after the holiday.
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.
Family Pets
Please remember that family pets are not allowed in the library. Yes, you’re right – we did have Banjo with us and now have Darby; however, their job includes being trained to become a leader dog. As with any other public place, a service dog is certainly welcome to be in the library with the person they are assisting.
