Kankakee, IL – The Kankakee Public Library is inviting local students to join its new Brainy Bunch program, a free weekday study group designed to help teens stay on top of homework and enjoy a supportive learning environment.
According to the City of Kankakee, the Brainy Bunch meets Monday through Friday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Roland B. Johnson Teen Zone inside the Kankakee Public Library, located at 201 E. Merchant Street. Teens can drop in at any time for help with homework, access to school supplies, and a snack break.
The program provides a safe and welcoming space for students who need a place to study or complete assignments after school. Staff are available to offer guidance, organize materials, and provide light assistance with schoolwork.
Library officials say the Brainy Bunch aims to encourage academic success while giving local youth a positive space to learn and connect. The initiative is part of the library’s ongoing effort to support Kankakee teens with free educational and social opportunities.
