Need help downloading an ebook? Not sure where to start on a research project? Want coaching on basic computer skills? Arrange for a personalized virtual or in-person session with a library professional.
Subjects we can help with:
- Creating an email account
- Browsing the library's catalog
- Downloading ebooks and digital audiobooks
- Searching the internet
- Using library databases
- Other computer basics
- Personalized help with a research project
- Discovering new books and authors that match your tastes and interests
While we can help you find resources on most topics, some questions and services are beyond the scope and expertise of the library. Hands-on assistance with personal devices, software not available on library computers, and editing or proofreading written works are examples. We can guide you to information sources for medical, legal, and tax questions, and product or service recommendations, but we cannot offer personal advice, interpretation, recommendation, or opinion.
Sno-Isle Libraries prides itself on the training of our information professionals. Let us connect you with a staff member who can help answer your questions. For an answer to a reference or library question without scheduling a Book a Librarian session, Contact Us by email, chat, text, or phone.
