Huntley's library has acquired several significant collections, and volunteers are busy processing the books so that they will be ready to circulate when the library opens in its renovated facility in January.
Concluding discussions are under way with the Schaumburg Public Library regarding acquisition of over 300 volumes devoted to Illinois history and social issues. Selected titles include: American Apocalypse: Great Fire and the Mvth of Chicago: Guide to Education in Illinois: Nazis in Skokie: Prairie Primer: and Lincoln: Slavery and Civil Rights, with topics ranging from sports, to pioneer history, to Chicago politics, to rural preservation.
Oak Brook Radiologist, Robert Dooley, has donated his collection of 2,500 volumes to the Huntley Library. Dr. Dooley is an avid reader and his collection includes hundreds of recently published volumes of mystery and science fiction, as well as beautifully bound classics of world literature and history. In addition. Dr. Dooley's collection includes several of the Time Life series devoted to cities of the world, geography and many illustrated art history books, many of which are bound in leather.
The Crystal Lake Public Library is helping the Huntley Library to develop a sound reference collection and, as such, has donated hundreds of superseded directories, guides to foreign and domestic travel, reference tools, such as Who's Who and the Thomas Register, computer guides, and Consumer Reports publications.
Romance readers will appreciate the large collection of older romances acquired from the Niles Public Library. In addition, the Des Plaines Public Library and the Skokie Public Library have donated hundreds of new paperbacks ranging from Robert Ludlum thrillers to Danielle Steel romances.
Huntley Library patrons and friends who might wish to help in the effort to process our acquisitions are invited to phone the library olfice at 669-5386. Teams of volunteers will work with coordinators Camille Cook and Eleanor Paarfusser several hours a week at times that are convenient to all. Book processing involves recording bibliographic information for the Library's records, putting pockets in books and covering dust jackets with plastic covers, as well as marking the spines of books with cataloging information so that the books may be shelved and retrieved easily.
