Library Receives Trisler Gift
The Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library has received a generous gift from the estate of Aline K. Trisler. Part of the funds will be used to purchase additional books for the library’s children’s collection. The gift will also be used to build the library’s endowment, administered by the Hendricks County Community Foundation.
Accepting the gift on behalf of the library, Kevin Neal, library board president, said, “We’re very grateful for Aline K. Trisler’s gift. Her generosity to her hometown library will benefit local residents, today and in the future.”
The Plainfield-Guilford Township Public library is in its 106th year of service to the community. More information on the library is available at www.plainfieldlibrary.net or by calling 317.839.6602.

Customer Accounts
At PGTPL, our goal is to have a dynamic, up to date, and appealing collection of materials available to our customers. Timely return of materials is essential to this effort. To assist our customers in returning items on time, we send e-mail reminders of upcoming due dates to everyone who requests this service.
If customers do miss a due date, we mail overdue notices, followed by a final bill. To make it easy for our cardholders to keep accounts current, we accept cash, check, debit or credit card payment for fines and fees.
To recover long overdue items and unpaid fees in excess of $25, the library contracts with Unique Management Collection Agency of Jeffersonville, IN. Unique Management works exclusively with libraries and has served PGTPL for several years.
For questions or concerns about customer accounts, call us at 839-6602 and press 2 to speak with someone in Circulation Services or e-mail us at askcirculation@plainfieldlibrary.net.
