Ask a Librarian

Have a question? Save time and ask us for assistance! We can help you in person or online.

Send an E-mail

Contact one of the librarians at hchsrefdesk @hinsdale86.org to get more information about library services, text or online resources, or if you need help with a research/reference question. Librarians check email frequently to provide an easy, efficient way to support students and teachers at Hinsdale Central when a personal visit is not possible.

Schedule a Research Consultation

If you have a problem finding appropriate resources for a specific assignment or you need help in creating a multimedia presentation, use the email address to make an appointment. Librarians are available all day to work with you. Although most students have access to the library during lunch or study hall periods, you might want to make an appointment for help before or after school. We will gather materials and have them available for you when you come to the library.

Assistance by Phone

If you are absent from school, you can call the library if you need help with a research assignment. We can help you with database passwords and suggest online resources. Please check the library hours on the Information page before you call. Dialing 630-570-8411 will connect you to Mrs. DePetro, our library office manager.

Make a Recommendation

The library staff is interested in your recommendations. If there is a book or resource that you feel would be of value to you and other students, please let us know. We can also assist with Interlibrary Loan when a book is needed right away. We provide a link to the Metropolitan Library System where you can search for books from all Chicago suburban libraries. Mr. Laffey is our MLS representative. Please allow one week for delivery.
