Got questions? In addition to answering questions via email, phone, fax, and in-person, the Library now offers a "Text a Librarian" service. So the next time you have a question for one of our information experts, why not use your cellphone or handheld device to text us your question?

Using the service is easy! Here's how it works:

  • Start the body of the text with the keyword askus, followed by a space, followed by your question.
    (For example, askus what are 3 great books on the civil war?)
  • Send your text to 66746

One of our librarians will respond to your question promptly. Please note: this service is provided during the Main Library hours of operation. Questions received after hours will be answered when service hours resume See our Text a Librarian webpage for more details and FAQs about text messaging.
