Just as a reminder to all of our patrons… if you have questions, please call us. Want to know the estimated population of Amelia in 2008? Ask us. How about the lyrics to your favorite song or that book you read ten years ago that had a girl who found a book about magic when she was running away from bullies? We can find both of those for you, too. We can find whole poems if you only remember a line, even when you get a couple of the words out of order.

No, we aren’t omniscient, but we answer LOTS of questions like this. We’re used to them. We are only a phone call away. Nowadays, though, you don’t even need to call! Look to your left on the screen. The little “Meebo” box tells you whether someone is “manning” (or womanning!) the IM reference desk. You don’t even have to get offline to ask questions.

We are getting more and more portals online as we build a “virtual branch.” We are developing a Delicious bookmarking account to save quality informational websites. Our electronic databases allows you to use more traditional sources like encyclopedias and magazines in an electronic formats. The Meebo connection provides you with the ability to ask questions Monday-Friday. Our Facebook group page helps you connect with other Library patrons. You can even download whole books now from our links.

Finally, if you are looking for a new job right now, please check out our resource page (found on the right hand side of the screen or at the bottom of this page) “Job Searching On the Internet.” We have gathered links to local major newspapers who publish their classified sections on the web, as well as skill building sites for resume and cover letter writing, as well as interviewing skills.
