Book a Librarian is a free one-on-one consultation with a librarian. During the 30- minute session, a librarian will be available to focus his or her attention on helping a patron with in-depth research and problem-solving using all the tools of the library.

"Book a Librarian was designed to help our patrons tap into the vast resources that the Library District has to offer," said Laurie Christensen, Manager of Information Services and Community Libraries. "Our professional librarians possess the keys to unlocking a great deal of untapped information, and enjoy connecting patrons to the information they seek. We're looking forward to helping patrons further utilize our libraries as we show them sources they may not have realized existed to help answer a question or solve a problem."

Book a Librarian consultations will be offered in English, Russian or Spanish and can help patrons research or receive help with a variety of topics, including:

• Genealogy
• Business and marketing
• Colleges
• Jobs and career
• Health and medical
• Homework and research papers
• Homeschooling
• Ideas for professional or personal reading, viewing and listening

To use the new Book a Librarian service, patrons should begin by identifying a need or stating a question. A session can be booked one of three ways: in person at any Arapahoe Library District branch, over the phone by calling 303-LIBRARY (303-542-7279) or online.
