Helpful staff and great selection. Lots of great places to sit and read. Great community programs too. Even though it’s a small town, I love to look out the big windows at the skyline. Great spot for a library.

Questions & Answers

Where can I get a Library card

Maria Schadel | Oct 17, 2021

You can go to the Kankakee Public Library 1st floor. You will need to provide a current ID or driver license with an address within the Kankakee City Limits and a piece of mail (bill statements or paystubs,etc.). If you do not possess a current ID you can provide two pieces of mail with the current address. Hope this answers your question. G. Adams Kankakee Public Library Trustee/Secretary

Hi. Cricut Basics meets tonight at 4, April 10, April 23, and May 9. Yes to the Cricut Air. Hope to see you there. They are stand alone classes. Kind of like a little support group of Cricut users. Learn tips and tricks from those who have been using it for awhile. It is suggested that you bring your own if you want to make some items.

I recently moved and would like to know what documents do i need to get a library card?

Marisa Navarro | Oct 18, 2019
Kankakee Public Library | Oct 18, 2019

You will need your state ID. If it has your current address then you need one additional item to prove your residency. It has to be something official like a utility bill. If your ID still has your old address you will need to bring in two items to prove residency. Hope to see you soon.
