Hinsdale 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.
