If you have trouble finding a resource or have a question about a library program and you can’t stop by one of the 17 branch locations, there is an “Ask Us” section on the website that provides answers to frequently asked questions as well as the option to ask your own question. Librarians monitor this regularly, so answers are usually given in a relatively short period of time.

These databases include Encyclopedia Britannica, Newsbank and Gale. Homework help also includes a live online tutor for students from kindergarten through college. • A space for teenagers to submit online recommendations of books they’ve read to be published on the library website, blog, or Facebook page. • A foreign language database where you can learn 36 different languages including English and Spanish. There is also a separate language database for children to learn eight foreign languages. • Access to the calendar for all branch locations. In the “About Us” section of the website are frequently asked questions as well as contact informations. If you haven’t yet explored your library’s website, spend some time looking around – both the Albuquerque and Santa Fe systems are navigable through a mobile device or computer. Your local library is a wonderful place to learn, inspire and entertain, not only in person but also online.
