Hi, Fiction_L folks,

This question is for Illinois librarians and readers advisers. We have a patron
at my library who is looking for libraries in the Chicago suburbs (or Chicago)
which have sizeable collections of Korean language fiction. He and his wife
would like to travel to libraries to browse and check out Korean language
fiction. I don't know his definition of "sizeable collection"; big enough to be
worth the trip, I guess. Thanks much.

Well, we're not in Chicago, but if they're snowbirds and make it down to
Texas.... The Carrollton Public Library has a sizeable Korean collection
donated by a local Korean/American association. We are still adding some
items and we have recently bought some Korean DVDs from an outfit called
Koreagate (no kidding).

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!

HI Brenda
If you come to Chicago Public either the Central library downtown or the Albany
Park branch, you will see the two largest Korean collections in Illinois. The
Albany Park branch is the center for Korean books and has a huge collection--both
fiction and nonfiction. We are also building a new branch which when it opens next
year will have another huge Korean collection.

The Skokie Public Library has approximately 1600 Korean language titles.
Unfortunately your patron could not check out books here with his Woodridge
card, but they are welcome to browse and request them through interlibrary
loan.

At the Vernon Area Library in Lincolnshire we have a sizeable collection of
Korean language books (approx. 400 books of which approx. 250 are fiction).
We continue to add to the collection on a regular basis. Your patron is
welcome to come and browse, but as the collection is very popular, many
titles are out on any given day. With a Woodridge card your patron could
check out a maximum of four titles per day. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the help in identifying Illinois libraries with Korean language
fiction collections. My department head and her patron are very pleased.
