The librarians want you to find the information you need, and we understand that some things are hard to ask about. You can look on the shelves in the Adult Nonfiction section for the call numbers below, or search the catalog for more titles. Remember, you can check out books from any section of the library, no matter your age. You can also chat with us anonymously, or give us a phone call. We don’t keep records on questions people ask us.
When you’re ready, we have self-checkouts for your convenience. Your checkout records will not be shared with anyone. (However, if you are a minor whose parent/guardian has chosen to link your account with theirs, they will be able to see what titles you have checked out.)
