| Ask a Librarian |
| From simple "ready reference" questions ("Who won the World Series in 1951?"*), to more involved information needs; from requests over the phone, in person, or via our website form, all our branches provide general reference service, ranging from a very basic level at our smaller branches, with their core collection of reference books and internet access, to a much more comprehensive level at our primary reference center, the Bay City Branch, with its large reference collection, internet access, and staff of reference librarians. |
