Don't have a library card yet? Kaneville Public Library District residents can now apply for a digital library card online in order to access our online resources. Once you register, you will have full access to our electronic resources, as well as the ability to place up to 5 holds through the online catalog. However, you will not be able to check out any physical items until you visit the library and verify your residency. 

Need to do research for a project, search for read-alikes, or even learn how to fix up your car? Your library card opens all of these doors and more for you with the following databases. 

If you are accessing the databases from home, make sure to have your library card and PIN number handy to log in. 

You can use your library card to check out both e-books and e-audiobooks by using Boundless powered by eRead Illinois. You can read/listen using your internet browser or download the app on your phone or tablet. Sign in and check it out by clicking the link below. If you have trouble logging in, give us a call or send us an email at info@kanevillelibrary.org and we will be there to help!
