Reference Services

Use the Library catalog and place requests
Provide one-on-one help for extended reference questions through the Library's Reference by Appointment service
Recommend authors and titles which may be of interest to readers (link to Reader's Corner)
Provide specialized reference service on local history and genealogy
Take recommendations for materials to be considered for purchase by the Library
