Ask a Librarian

Do you have an easy-to-answer question that doesn't require a trip to the library? An experienced professional can give you an answer to a brief, factual question when you use our Ask a Librarian feature.


Note: Our chat reference service can also answer library account/holds-related questions Monday-Friday 9am-6pm.


Send your question from any location. Inquiries will be answered in the order they are received.


Talk with a BPL librarian from home.

The Book a Librarian service allows you to reserve a free half hour session with a professional reference librarian at the Central Library.


This service has been discontinued due to a loss of funding. Please call your neighborhood library to ask about our After School Homework Helpers program, a free service offering homework help from trained tutors. We apologize for the inconvenience.
