Reference Services

We’re here to help! The Groton Public Library’s Reference Librarians provide assistance during all hours the Library is open.  We can provide the answers to questions on a wide range of topics and if we can’t find the answer, we’ll refer you to other possible sources of information or assistance.

Your Reference Librarian is ready to help you:

• Find a book here or in another library.
• Locate information in books, periodicals, databases, and on the Internet.
• Use the catalog.
• Use the online databases (including showing you how to find articles from magazines like Consumer Reports, or research your family tree with HeritageQuest and Ancestry.com).
• Sign-in to use the computers and show you how to search the Internet or use other computer applications.
• Suggest good books.
• And much more, just ask us!

What we can’t do:

• Conduct extensive research for patrons.
• Conduct extensive family history research.
• Provide advice on medical, tax, or legal matters.
