Once you connect, type in your question to a librarian who will give you a quick and friendly response. Often you will get a recommended web site displayed on your screen so you and the librarian can decide together if this is the best source of info for you. When you’re done, you will get a transcript emailed to you so you can easily find the info again.

These services are offered by the Dayton Metro Library in conjunction with the State Library of Ohio and providers across the state.
