Answer to Database Trivia question # 11

The correct answer is TRUE. There are several ways you can get in touch with the reference librarians after the library is closed. You can contact them by dialing direct reference line 570-821-1959 and leaving a message on the answering machine. You can send them an e-mail to reference@osterhout.lib.pa.us. In both cases one of the librarians working at the Osterhout Free Library will get back to you by next day. If you do not want to wait till next day, you can log on to Ask Here PA from the Osterhout Free Library's website @ http://www.osterhout.lib.pa.us. This site will allow to chat with a reference librarian on duty from anywhere in Pennsylvania or United States. In order to receive the transcript of your chat with the librarian, make sure to give your e-mail address when you log on.
