Reference Center

The staff of the Reference and Information Center can provide quick, factual, and up-to- date information on many subjects, from local historical newspaper accounts to the latest stock quotes. We help provide access to many databases for online research, which include several full-text periodicals and newspapers.

Services include help in obtaining print materials such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, telephone books, city directories, legal and business forms and publications, federal, state, and city tax forms; help with genealogical research, microfilm readers and printer; access to local history resources stored in our "Alliance Room."

Our staff is also available to help locate library materials from our own collection or obtain them from the vast resources of Search Ohio.

We can be contacted in person, by phone, by postal mail or by email.
