Reference and Information Services Department

Bonnie Reid, Coordinator

Our reference librarians are trained to serve as the important link between you and the information you need. We have the expertise and resources to help you pursue your interests—from local information and national news, to school assignments, and nonfiction leisure reading. To help you research at home, we maintain a list of Databases and Websites. If you are having trouble finding what you need online, we can suggest search strategies. Are you looking for a good nonfiction book to read? Check out We Recommend or take a look at our Nonfiction Good Reads. In person, over the phone (630) 960–1200, via email, or through online chat, we will do our best to answer your questions, whether complex or simple!
