MassAnswers
Need information when your local library is closed? You can get answers anytime day or night through MassAnswers, an online reference service available through a grant administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. When you use this service you will be connected with the reference staff at libraries in Massachusetts or other states.
