Zionsville Library Ranks Well

The Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library was named one of the nation's best.

The ratings are based on including circulation, funding levels, materials, reference services and staffing, Hilbert said.

In the 2010 edition of Hennen's American Public Library Ratings, the Zionsville library was recently ranked in the 98th percentile of U.S. public libraries serving between 10,000 and 24,999 residents, said Virginia Hilbert, library spokeswoman.

Hussey-Mayfield ranked 26th of 1,561 similarly sized libraries in the nation, and was the highest ranked library of its size in Indiana, Hilbert said. That is 10 spots higher than the library's 2009 ranking.
