The information needs of the community are the first priority of Parkland Community Library's Reference Department. Your information needs are met through:

• The use of traditional reference materials.
• The Jobs & Occupations Collection.
• The Local History Collection.
• Electronic Resources.
• Interlibrary Loan Service - If you cannot locate an item in our catalog, you may ask the reference staff to place an interlibrary loan (ILL) request. This service is provided only for patrons who have Parkland Community Library as their home library. ILL requests are usually provided free of charge and allow patrons to borrow materials, primarily books, from other libraries. You will be notified by phone when the item arrives. There are no renewals on these items.

In-library computerized services include the Internet, online databases, and POWER library. The Library's Reference Staff is dedicated to giving you the benefit of every available Library resource.

Computer Access

The library has six public computers with Internet access and Microsoft Office. There are also laptops available for in-library use. The laptops may be borrowed and used within the library in exchange for the user's driver's license or state photo ID. Parents may borrow for their children ages 14 years and up. All computers and laptops print to the library's network printer for a charge of 10 cents for black & white and 50 cents for color per page. There is no public wireless Internet access at this time.   For the latest... Follow the PCL Reference blog here!
