@ the Library

  • Wisconsin Libraries Say CheeseUsing flickr, many libraries have uploaded photos of a day in the life of their libraries. We invite you to watch the slide show on this page. We think you will be delighted and impressed with what you see.

    Be sure to look for the pictures from the Kaukauna Public Library.
  • Employment Help PageLooking for a job, thinking about changing careers....check out our Employment Help Page. You will find links for employment and unemployment services, state and local job sites, career tests and much more.
  • Local HistoryAre you working on your family tree? There are two databases available through Infosoup to help you. 

    Heritage Quest includes census data, family records, local histories, military records and PERSI (the PERiodical Source Index). You can use this site at no charge in the library or from outside the library.  You will need your library card number & PIN.

    The library version of the popular Ancestry.com. provides access to a vast collection of census records, birth, marriage & death records, immigration and military records, directories, passenger lists, and more!  The library version of Ancestry.com can be used within the library at no cost.  To use it outside the library you must pay for a subscription.

    The Kaukauna Public Library is working on an index to the Kaukauna Sun and Kaukauna Times and Times/Villager.  Visit this page to research articles from the local newspapers

    The Kaukauna Area Historical Society web page contains a large amount of local historical information.  Check their site for information about  Kaukauna area history and how to join their group.

    Check the Infosoup Local History page for additional sites and information for genealogy and local history information.
  • Self-CheckoutFor your convenience the Kaukauna Public Library has installed a self-checkout kiosk.  Patrons now have the ability to checkout their own materials.   

    To use the self-checkout first scan your library card which pulls up your account information, then scan the library materials using a bar code scanner.  When all materials have been scanned print a receipt and you can be on your way.  Not sure about how it works.....our staff is always willing to help.

    Materials in security cases will need to be taken to the circulation desk.
  • Homeschool WebsiteIf you are considering homeschooling or if you are already a homeschool parent you may find the Wisconsin Parents Association website useful and informative.
