A group of people watching a ribbon cutting for Hinckley Public Library District Grand Opening

The new library opened 8.6.2026!

The new building is now open! Visit the new space for full library services including new study rooms, children's play spaces, and comfy seating. 

​

The building at 142 W Lincoln Avenue was built for Nash Furniture in 1956 and turned into Hinckley Medical Center in the 1980s. It served as a medical and dental practice until 2014 and was donated to the library by the Drs. Marwaha in 2020. Now it is a vibrant new library for the community!

​
