- You can email the libraries with a question, and usually receive a response within 24 hours. Click the “Email” link on the right side of the page.
- You can make an appointment to meet with someone virtually. See Schedule a Virtual Appointment with a Librarian
- You can send a chat message to a librarian anytime from 8:00am until 11:00pm. Click the blue “Chat Now” button in the center of the page to open a chat window. You will need to type in your question and press “Enter” before the librarian receives the message.
