Lee-Whedon Library additions to website

You can now look on our website to find all the new books that have been added in the past month. Once you find what you'd like to read you can also place a hold on that book & we'll call you when the book is available to you. The library also has a number of databases to be used for school projects - check out another of our new services - Ask A Librarian 24/7 - you can use your computer to "chat" with a librarian any time, day or night - of course the librarian may be in California or Arizona or Maine. The service was established to help with reference questions that come up after a library is closed - try it out, it's really cool!!
