The Book-a-Librarian service is an exciting service that is being offered to our community at the library. You can book Book-a-Librarian for a personalized Face-to-Face Session.
- Need help downloading an e-book?
- Not sure where to start on a research project?
- Want special coaching on basic computer skills?
Sno-Isle librarians are eager to meet face-to-face with customers who can “Book-a-Librarian” for a free 30 to 60 minute session of personalized finding information or using technology.
The Book-a-Librarian sessions are tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual. A library staff member will give undivided attention to customers who want in-depth technical assistance on topics such as starting an email account, browsing the library’s catalogue, downloading e-books and audio books, searching the internet, using electronic databases through the Sno-Isle website, other computer basics or some basic help with your start-up business. Be sure to let the library staff know when you book your Book-a-Librarian session what assistance you need help with. This will help them to collect information on the correct topic.
Other, non-technical topics are also available for Book-a-Librarian sessions, including personalized help with a research project or helping you discover new books and authors that match your taste and interests.
Sno-Isle librarians are trained information professionals. If a staff member with expertise in a customer’s area of interest is not available at their preferred community library, Sno-Isle Libraries will find a staff member in another Sno-Isle community to help you.
In 2008, Sno-Isle Libraries began providing this free one-on-one service at five community libraries, which then grew to 12 libraries. Due to the popularity and success of this program, ‘Book-a-Librarian’ is now available at all 22 Sno-Isle community libraries.
You can book your Book-a-Librarian session at the Marysville Library at 6120 Grove Street. To schedule, call 360-658-5000
