HERITAGE CENTER
Heritage Center Community Library
The Heritage Center houses the Indian Head Park Village Community Library. During the year residents donate books from their own collection to be shared with others in the community. We have a wonderful fiction collection full of current best sellers, your favorite mystery authors, children’s books, and biographies. Our nonfiction section is limited due to space constraints, but it is still full of great reads.Special Events
The Heritage Center is available to Village residents for special occasions such as weddings or birthday parties. For more information, please call the Village Administration Office at 708-246-3080 ext 104.
Heritage Center Committee
The Village of Indian Head Park recently incorporated a Heritage Center Committee which oversees the preservation, maintenance, and overall well being of the Heritage House. The Heritage Center Committee will hold meetings throughout the year, and we encourage residents to attend the meetings. Please see our Village Meeting Calendar for information on upcoming events at meetings about the Heritage House. Book Sale
Books for sale may be found on the back porch of the Heritage Center. Once a year we weed out our collection and donate the overstock to an organization who either recycles, sells or makes the items available to schools or other charities in need.Donations

As a volunteer you would be responsible for staffing the library one morning or afternoon a month.
