The Elwood Public Library is committed to providing community residents with a means to access information, education and recreational materials. They have a collection that includes books, serials, videos, DVD’s, compact discs, audio books, computer software and kits. The library also delivers materials in downloadable and other electronic formats, and is in the process of adding materials in new formats to its collection. The Library also offers a number of special services to the community. These include reader’s advisory, interlibrary loans, community outreach, hospital visits, homebound delivery, photocopy machines, scanning and fax services.
The Library strives to be responsive to community needs and requests. Budgetary, facility, and staffing constraints may prevent the Library from being able to fulfill all community wishes but those constraints do not prevent the library from studying them and attempting to find ways to fulfill them.
