Reference Service
Do you have a question? Our Reference Librarians are as close as your telephone or computer. They will also be glad to help you in-person when you come in to the library. If you have questions about searching the subscription databases or using the Internet they can help. They will also help with research or pull a book from the shelf to hold for you.
