When you have questions such as "Where do I go to get a replacement library card?" or "How much do I owe the library?", the Circulation Desk is where to go. The Circulation department is responsible for performing functions such as check-ins, check-outs, renewing library materials, monitoring the self-check machines, receiving payment for fines, and library card registration. The Circulation Department is also responsible for managing the re-shelving of all returned materials, and maintaining the order of the various collections housed in the library.
At the Gibson Library, the Circulation Department head is Greg Reyes.
Coming Soon: The James I. Gibson Library is moving to a brand new building! Read on to learn about the library's history, building timeline, and all the services to be offered.
a little background..
The James I. Gibson Library has been located at the corner of Water Street and Basic Road in downtown Henderson since 1989. With a humble beginning in a small building nearly dwarfed by its swamp cooler in 1944, the Henderson Library District precedes the city by almost ten years. The Gibson library replaced the original Henderson Library (1953-1989) that was housed on the corner of Water Street and Pacific Avenue. The library is named for State Senator James Isaac Gibson, 1925-1988, who served in the state legislature for twenty-nine years from 1959 to 1988. He was instrumental in acquiring funds for the library's construction.
