Public Library |
The
Hinsdale
Public Library is located at 20 E. Maple Street
in the west wing of the Memorial Building. The facility
provides the community with a full-service library
of approximately 30,000 square feet. Contact the Library
at 630-986-1976 or FAX 630-986-9720 or TDD 630-986-1982.
Services include general and business reference assistance
in response to information requests; computer searches
of automated databases; a full range of story times,
reading clubs and other programs for children and
young adults; and interlibrary loan. Microcomputers,
typewriters, and coin-operated photocopiers (including
a color copier) are available for use in the library.
The library's meeting rooms and display cases can
be booked for use by local not-for-profit organizations.
Materials available at the library include books (108,000
volumes), magazines, and newspapers (over 300 subscriptions);
audio cassettes, compact discs (about 3,200 items
including over 1,100 audio books); video cassettes
(about 1,500 items) and equipment (including CD players,
16mm slide and overhead projectors). Most materials
can be borrowed for home use.
The library is a member of the Metropolitan Library
System (MLS). Hinsdale and other MLS libraries share
a computer system which provides for the circulation
of materials and gives each library access to the
holdings of all participating libraries. MLS's interlibrary
loan and reference services also enable library users
to draw upon materials available throughout the nation.
People may also arrange to obtain special audio material
under the Library
of Congress Program for the Blind and Physically
Handicapped (BPH).
The library has one of the highest circulation transactions
per capita rates in Illinois. Last year about 275,000
items were loaned.
There is an active Friends
of the Library group which provides supplementary
financial support to the library. Funds come from
annual membership dues and semiannual book sales.
The Library Director heads a staff of 50 full- and
part-time employees, including 11 professional librarians.
