Ask a Librarian
Do you need help selecting Library materials? Looking to try a new author or book genre
but aren’t sure how to find one? No problem! Our librarians are happy to help guide your selection process. Stop by a reference desk in the Library for assistance. Or call the Library during Library hours and ask to speak to a librarian who will then help you with your selections and place them on hold for you to pick up in the Library or curbside.
