    What a wonderful, clean, friendly library! Came in to get a library card and the staff was…read moreextremely helpful and friendly. With a wide variety of book, ample study rooms, a cafe, and even a flight simulator, it's the perfect place to come and relax and find a good book to read.

    My daughter and her tutor used the Hemingway study room on 5/20 at approximately 5:45 p.m…read more Unfortunately, the experience was extremely unpleasant and concerning. The group using the room prior to them left half-eaten sushi in the trash can, causing the room to smell strongly of fish. To help with the odor, my daughter's tutor, who is also a Glen Ellyn resident, placed the trash can partially in the doorway to keep the door slightly open for ventilation. An employee described as taller with dark hair approached them and stated that it was "policy" that the trash cans had to remain inside the room with the door closed. When the tutor explained the odor issue, the employee returned with a bottle of Febreze and sprayed it directly in their direction inside the enclosed study room, then placed the sushi-filled trash can back inside the room and shut the door again while reiterating that the door had to remain closed. My daughter became physically ill after the session and vomited when she got home. Regardless of intent, spraying a scented chemical irritant into a small enclosed space without asking the occupants was inappropriate and unprofessional. More concerning is that the obvious solution -- simply removing or emptying the trash containing rotting food -- was ignored in favor of masking the smell with spray fragrance. This situation demonstrated poor judgment, lack of customer care, and an unnecessary escalation of a simple sanitation issue.

    This is a Christain college and I am Hindu…read more My husband and I love this library and campus. I had to pay to join the library, and it was worth every cent. The grounds are beautiful to run, and at no cost. Not one negative thing to say about Wheaton College.

    I attended Wheaton College as a student, but after graduating I still come here to study & check…read moreout books. The college library is open later than the public libraries so it's a good place if you're studying for a professional certification or have a work project. They are open until midnight week nights and have shortened hours on the weekends. My one complaint would be they are not open on Sundays due to the Sabbath. I understand school policy regarding these hours, but it leaves limited other public options for study spaces. Besides the hours, there are just enough study spaces for the amount of traffic that comes in and out of the library. During midterms and exam weeks I would not recommend trying to find a study spot, it will be too full. As a student or a paying community member, you will have access to the interlibrary loan system where you can check out books from any of the partner colleges in the IL area. It makes for cheap rental of books rather than buying a textbook online. I would definitely recommend paying to be a member if you need access to the library system for renting books or if you need resources on biblical topics. They have one of the most expensive collections of resources as far as reference material for biblical texts, archeological books or peer reviewed journals available online.
